The soap veteran, played by Jeff Hordley, made a surprise return to the village after his son Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) confessed to shooting Al ( Michael Wildman ).
Yet his freedom from prison proved to be bitter-sweet for the mechanic as his son Kyle was sent to a children's home on the day of his release.
