EMMERDALE producers have teased that Andy Sugden will make a huge return to the ITV soap.
Kelvin Fletcher discusses leaving Emmerdale
Actor Kelvin Fletcher quit the Leeds-based show in 2016, leaving fans devastated.
Andy fled the village after being framed for the attempted murder of Lawrence White (played by John Bowe).
But with Lachlan White (Thomas Atkinson) now behind bars for the crime, speculation has risen that Andy might be about to make a re-appearance.
Emmerdale series producer Iain MacLeod said he is was open to the idea of bringing the popular star back.

Andy Sugden is such a huge character
Iain told The Mirror: “There are no plans to do that at the moment, but I’d have to be an idiot not to have it in the back of my mind, as Andy Sugden is such a huge character and Kelvin’s an amazing actor.”
He also said that he definitely “wouldn’t rule it out”.
Last month, actor Kelvin sent fans into a frenzy when he asked Iain for his job back during a live Q and A session with viewers on Twitter.
