Overview
- Shaun Williamson will reprise Barry Evans in a single episode scheduled to air in December, with filming already completed.
- Barry appears as a vision in the Queen Vic alongside Pam St Clement’s returning Pat Evans, rather than as a literal resurrection.
- Producers say the scenes coincide with Nigel’s intensifying symptoms, with reports indicating he is transported back to the 1990s.
- Executive producer Ben Wadey announced the return and described it as a focused instalment within Nigel’s ongoing storyline.
- Williamson called the invitation a "complete shock," as the show continues its collaboration with Dementia UK on the portrayal.
