Soap fans were stunned to see the return of EastEnders legend Michael Greco as he returned to screens on Tuesday night with a role on Holby City.
The 51-year-old star won legions of fans at the turn of the century as Beppe di Marco on EastEnders – a role he held down for four years from 1998 until 2002.
In the 20 years since Michael turned his back on Albert Square, his acting roles have been few and far between – with just 13 credits to his name since 2002.
