He doesn't really have links to them though, they were just around when he was in Corrie years ago... It seems like having an old cast member return just for the sake of it, he has no relatives/friends that are still on the Street...

Jed Stone, fair enough, though again his link was rather tenuous...

Tommo 'Ed' Jackson wasn't even played by the same actor when he returned & the character was only in one scene originally!

And Ray Langton had an ex wife, daughter & grand daughter living on the Street...
