Martin Kemp wants 'EastEnders' return

[Perdita]

Martin Kemp has admitted that he is eager to make a return to BBC soap EastEnders.

The actor played villain Steve Owen on the Walford drama from 1999 to 2002, when the nightclub boss was killed off in a car explosion.

In an interview with Closer magazine, Kemp commented: "Working on EastEnders was the best job I ever had. I want the producers to ring me up and get me back on the show.

"Steve was blown up, but I could come back as his evil twin!"

The 48-year-old, who recently played a number of comeback shows with Spandau Ballet, added that he is currently trying his best to keep a toned figure.

He said: "I go to the gym four times a week for an hour. I love binge eating so I pile on weight and then I have to spend two months working it off again. It's all exercise and Slim Fast shakes now. I live on the stuff - I'll have a shake for breakfast and lunch when I'm being particularly hardcore."

In 2006, Kemp claimed that Steve should never rise from the dead, saying: "You can't come back after dying in a car explosion. I couldn't go back like that."

how can he come back.. we saw him getting blown up.. would be a stupid storyline if he came back

[sean slater]

Yeh would be impossible for him to come back. I hate when a character is killed off and then they cant come back. Like Dennis, I miss him. Please don't do this to Bradley!

[Chloe O'brien]

He could come back as a ghost and haunt Phil.

[parkerman]

Perhaps Tamzin Outhwaite could come back. Then she could wake up one morning and find Martin (Steve) in the shower and the last seven years were all a dream.

I wonder if that's ever been done before? No, probably not as it's too ridiculous!:rolleyes:

[Siobhan]

:rotfl::rotfl: at the rate old cast is returning it wouldn't be so stupid.. we would have the entire cast back from 7 years ago..

[Perdita]

Would that include Mr and Miss Allen? I am sure there are members on here missing a certain young lady now trying to make it in Hollywood :lol:

[Chloe O'brien]

Well while we're campaigning to bring back old cast members. I want to start a petition to bring back Wellard and Roly. Animals have rights as well you know.

[Perdita]

What about Terence and Chips? And Albert? I have not seen them for ages. Is there a dog snatcher in Walford :eek:

[Dazzle]

I used to really like Martin Kemp in EE and thought he was stupid to leave it. He's burnt his bridges there. His acting was good enough for EE but not for more serious drama. What has he done acting-wise since he left?

[lizann]

Why would he come back no friends or family there :confused:

[Abbie]

Aww I liked him! Well I remember it was the time when I loved ee when I was younger

and like everyone said hes dead!
