Former EastEnders star Adam Croasdell has revealed that he would be willing to return to the soap in the future.

The actor bowed out from his role as Dr Al Jenkins last year and was seen on screen in the BBC show for the final time last month.

Croasdell later landed a guest part on hit American drama Supernatural and will soon be seen playing Norse god of light Baldur on the programme.

In an interview with DS, the 29-year-old confirmed that he would make a Walford comeback if producers allowed Al to be more edgy like Supernatural's characters.

Describing an EastEnders return as a "group decision", Croasdell commented: "I guess management have to want it, and I have to want it. I think I would probably come back, sure.

"I would love it if Al had a little bit more to do, and wasn't quite so nice! I think one of the hardest things to do is play the nice guy. It's very hard to make a nice guy interesting.

"The Americans have dealt with that very well, because every nice guy they create has a few anti-heroic qualities to root him in reality. Al needed a bit more of that, a bit more punch. If we rethought him slightly then I would definitely say yes!"
