Bannerman keen on 'EastEnders' return

[Timalay]

Marc Bannerman has claimed that he would return to EastEnders "in a heartbeat" if he were given the opportunity.

The actor, who played Gianni di Marco in the soap between 1998 and 2000, said that he enjoyed having the chance to build a character over an extended period of time.

He told DS: "I love EastEnders and I loved my time there.

"It was a regular job, and also on a soap you get to develop a character over a period of time, and I quite enjoyed that. You get to add your own little traits and after three years you can play with it a bit more.

"I love the stability of a soap, you know?"

When asked if he would ever return to the show, the I'm A Celebrity... star said: "I would go back in a heartbeat, but I can't see it happening, personally."

I think I can remember the family but not him

[Pinkbanana]

I can see him returning....

I bet he misses the money and the higher profile...he hasnt really done much since leaving....cant believe it was 8 years ago either!!!

[Chris_2k11]

Cant really see any proper reason why his character would come back.

[Chloe O'brien]

Of course he would jump at the chance to return to the square. He's skint he needs the money.

[Perdita]

Let's hope they don't find anything for him to do, never liked his character years ago and I don't think he can act.

agree.. if anything Bepe di Marco should come back

[Xx-Vicky-xX]

I used to like him but i dont think i would like to see him back - what reason is there? He has no family and hardly anyone is around now that were when Gianni was and even if there are people they dont have a strong enough connection to him to warrent him going back

[Dr. Tangliss]

I definietly don't want to see him back in it, surely there are better characters that the viewers would rather see returning, such as Mel, although the likelihood of that is zero.

to be quite honest i dont think he will fit in without the rest of the family..well i cant imagine so anyway
