RETURN OF REG HOLLIS

HELLO HELLO HELLO.. WHAT'S GOING ON HAIR? Prim-and-copper Jeff set to rejoin T V's Bill EXCLUSIVE
By David Collins
Tormented Bill star Jeff Stewart has been in secret talks with producers to make a sensational comeback as TV's favourite bobby - but he will have to smarten himself up a little bit.

The actor who played prim-and-proper PC Reg Hollis in the ITV cop show looked more like an undercover drug squad officer last week with afro-like hair, scruffy beard and unbottoned denim shirt.

But Jeff, 52, who slashed his wrists hours after being told he was being axed in January, has had talks with the show's bosses about returning in a special edition.

An ITV source said: "We've been in contact with Jeff since he left. He stays in touch with the show. Producers have been in talks with him about a possible comeback. At first he may appear in a few small cameo roles. But we can't rush it and it has to be right both for the show and for Jeff.

"If the right script comes up, then we might see the return of Reg to our screens."

Jeff, who lives in a £1million house in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, has struggled since being treated at The Priory clinic in 2006after a breakdown.


He had further treatment at The Priory after slashing his wrists in his studio dressing room in Merton, south London, five months ago following the end of his £150,000-a-year contract.


Jeff, who had played PC Hollis since the show began in 1984, later admitted: "It's true I was in a bit of a state. In fact I'd hit rockbottom and was on medication.


"But there is no way I would ever take my own life and I can't really explain what happened that evening."


Scots-born Jeff was a close friend of another tormented Bill star Kevin Lloyd, 49 - detective Tosh Lines - who drank himself to death 10 years ago after he was sacked from the show.

Hope this is True as it will show the producers are actually listening to the FANS
