I'd love it to be Craig Dean returning home to lick his wounds after JP dumps him, but it will most likely be either Jambo or Carol now their show's been cancelled

Guy Fan, Scotland, on August 4th, 2009
Oooh!...I'd love it to be Craig. It would fit with Sarah's exit and it would be great to find out how he is getting on with JP...is it love in paradise..or...

I think it will be someone connected with Tony, and from his past as he is meant to have a shock happy ever after wedding.

Hey, on August 4th, 2009
Aye that would be immense that. She was the fittest let's be honest. So bring her back. We need to know what she's been up to. And people should know Ben has died.
