Famous character returns to Hollyoaks shortly after leaving show.

Next week, Hollyoaks fans will be in for a treat as Charlie Dean makes an unexpected return to the beloved show. It's been a few months since his last appearance, but the much-loved character is finally coming back to the eponymous village. This news is sure to bring joy to the hearts of many viewers who were sad to see Charlie and others written out of the show during a time of major changes.

Charlie has been a mainstay of Hollyoaks for an impressive 13 years, but his character had a quieter year leading up to the show's historic time jump into the future. During this time, Charlie disappeared and his final appearance was at the hospital with the Osborne clan following the tragic death of Suzanne Ashworth. However, it seems that fans' prayers have been answered as Charlie is set to make a short comeback next week.

His sister, Frankie Osborne, will be overjoyed to see him return, as the two shared a loving and warm sibling bond before his departure. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows for Charlie as he will have a lot to catch up on. For starters, he'll learn about the shocking news of abuser JJ's leukemia diagnosis, and Frankie's decision to donate her bone marrow to save his life.

But that's not all. Charlie will also be shocked to find out about Darren's disappearance, as Nancy has been keeping it a secret that his belongings were found in an abandoned car. And as if that wasn't enough, he will also be hit with the bombshell revelation that Dillon cheated on Lucas with Leah during the show's "missing" year.

Lucas, who is currently unaware of this betrayal, will finally learn the truth next week and it's safe to say that Charlie will be stunned into silence. What will he do with this information? And how long will he stay in the village for?
