Hollyoaks star Jeff Rawle has revealed his reasons for returning to the soap, explaining that he felt his evil character's story was not over.
The actor recently reprised his role as Silas Blissett, who bowed out from the show last November when he was finally exposed as the village's serial killer.
Rawle told All About Soap: "There was still more to explore, but I became unavailable due to other work commitments. There were always unanswered questions, so it seemed like a good idea to return for this storyline. I hope the fans will be pleased to see him back."
Asked whether this will be Silas's final appearance, he replied: "Probably, but who knows? There's a big question mark hanging over what happens to him. The writers might want to investigate that. I'd be happy to pop back for [another] return as Silas in the future, so I'll keep you posted!"
As previously reported, Silas's return comes as Texas Longford (Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove) visits him to get answers over the recent murder of Lynsey Nolan.
Silas then returns to his old tricks by playing mind games, warning that another woman will be killed and that Will Savage (James Atherton) could be responsible.
Rawle continued: "He uses that as another bait. Silas knows that Texas and Will are close, so he points the finger of suspicion his way. It isn't just Will, though - Silas is out to put quite a few people in the frame, no-one is safe.
"You can never be sure what's going through Silas's mind. People who are watching will have to decide for themselves what's the truth and what's utter poppycock!"
Hollyoaks fans will also see Silas escape from the psychiatric hospital as the storyline continues.
