Ricky Tomlinson is to return to Channel 4’s Brookside for a special one-off crossover episode celebrating the 30th anniversary of the show’s successor, Hollyoaks.
The 85-year-old will reprise his role as Liverpudlian trade unionist Bobby Grant in the episode, while the previously announced Sue Johnston, who also starred alongside Tomlinson in BBC sitcom The Royal Family, will return to the role of Bobby’s wife, Shelia.
