EMMERDALE legend Kelvin Fletcher could be set to return to the ITV soap seven years after his dramatic exit.<\/p>\n

Kelvin, 39, played the beloved character Andy Sugden from 1996 until 2016.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He left the soap in dramatic fashion seven years ago, with Andy escaping from police custody after he was framed for attempted murder by Chrissie White (Louise Marwood). This came after the pair had a steamy affair while she was engaged to his adoptive brother Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), who she discovered was busy rolling around in the barn with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller).\u00a0<\/p>\n

During Andy\u2019s final weeks in the Dales, viewers saw Chrissie plant the gun which Lachlan used to shoot her father Lawrence (John Bowe) in Andy\u2019s car before trying to blackmail Andy\u2019s barrister into persuading her former lover to plead guilty.<\/p>\n

Andy pleaded not guilty to the crime, but before he could be sentenced he escaped from prison and went on the run with a fake passport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His stepsister Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles), whom he had been romantically involved with, almost went with him. However, she chose to stay in the village and bid Andy an emotional farewell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kelvin chose to exit the soap in order to pursue other acting opportunities. He\u2019s since starred in the comedy film Jack Absolutely Flies Again and appeared in dramas like The Teacher and McDonald and Dodds. He also won Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 and is set to launch his new ITV series, Fletcher Family Farm.<\/p>\n

However, after seven years away, Kelvin may be ready to return to the Dales once again.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Metro about a possible return to the soap, he teased, \u201cnever say never,\u201d adding that he\u2019s still a huge Emmerdale fan.<\/p>\n

I watch the show as a fan now and I\u2019m lucky in that sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible show, it\u2019s got an unbelievable fanbase, since I left it\u2019s gone from strength to strength,\u201d he said before joking, \u201cmaybe that\u2019s a sign I should stay away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelvin\u2019s return would definitely be an interesting one, as the soap would have to explain where he\u2019s been all this time. Additionally, he would also face his daughter Sarah and son Jack, who he left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Kelvin isn\u2019t giving too much away about Andy\u2019s possible reemergence, it\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s teased a return to the soap.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Moira Dingle (Natalie J. Robb) had to put her farm up for sale, Kelvin took to social media and suggested this could be the perfect opportunity for Andy to make a comeback. \u201cI\u2019ll buy it,\u201d he wrote online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emmerdale fans were thrilled at the prospect of getting Andy back on the soap.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease come back onto our screens,\u201d one said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While another wrote: \u201cYes please, the Dales are missing you and so are we!\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Kelvin\u2019s new family farming show is keeping him pretty busy, so it remains to be seen if Andy will be making a return to the Dales in the near future.<\/p>\n
