Beloved BBC series surprises fans with return of beloved characters played by original actors.

On a somber Friday, the residents of Port Devine gathered on Hope Street to bid farewell to one of their own. The recent passing of Barry Pettigrew, a beloved member of the community, has left a void in the hearts of his loved ones. Last week, Barry tragically lost his life while out on his boat, and it was his stepdaughter Marlene who made the devastating discovery. Accompanied by her new friend and police inspector, Eve Dunlop, Marlene was rocked by the sudden loss of her stepfather.

As the town mourns the loss of Barry, old faces resurface to pay their respects. Concepta O'Hare, a well-respected matriarch, and her stepdaughter Siobhan return to Port Devine for the first time in years. Siobhan had made a brief appearance in the season four opener, providing updates on the town's changes since the previous season. However, Concepta has been absent since the revelation of Finn's true parentage in season three. It is revealed that Finn is not Concepta's biological son, but rather her nephew. Finn's birth mother is Concepta's sister, Assumpta, who moved to the US many years ago.

For Concepta, this reunion also marks the first time she will see Assumpta in decades. The tension between the sisters is palpable as they come face to face. Will they be able to reconcile and rebuild their relationship, or has too much time passed? This appearance may also signal the end of the O'Hare clan's time in Port Devine, as they have been mainstays since the early seasons of the show.

The new season of Hope Street has been a hit with viewers, with Metro even dubbing it the best one yet. The show has undergone a reboot of sorts, with new characters joining the familiar faces in Port Devine. Set in a fictional Northern Irish town, Hope Street follows the lives of its residents and the local police department. Viewers can catch the latest episodes on Fridays at 2pm on BBC One, or stream the entire fourth season on BBC iPlayer.
