Emmerdale fans have flocked to social media to call for Kelvin Fletcher’s return as Andy Sugden.
The actor, 41, appeared on the ITV soap for two decades from 1996 to 2016.
Recent scenes have shown his on-screen brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) make a grand return, and is feuding with their other brother John (Oliver Farnworth), who was born as a result of an affair in the late 80s.
A few weeks ago, John visited Robert in prison in an attempt to keep him away from the village – and from reuniting with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller).
Robert then returned to Emmerdale, clearly wanting to break the pair up and claim back his ex-husband. When Aaron rejected his advances, he began to chat-up a customer at The Hide.
Little did he realise, the man had slipped drugs into his drink, having been enlisted by John to complete the deed. The next morning, dazed and confused, he woke in the back of a van.
John was stood over him, syringe in hand. Yikes.
Robert jumped onto him to stop, and became confused when their sister Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) swanned over and seemed aware of the situation. John tried to play the doting brother, and the syringe contained medicine to ‘help him’.
Now, amid the drama, viewers reckon that Andy should return to sort out the situation.
This was sparked by a comment from Kelvin on Instagram reading: ‘Don’t trust him Robert, I’m telling you.’
‘Time to bring Andy back!!’ said one fan on X.
‘Yes! @emmerdale That would be perfect, bring Andy back. Get someone else to open Victoria’s eyes,’ said another.
A third added: ‘This story would actually be a perfect return for Andy so Robert has someone who 100% backs him no matter what.’
‘Bring Andy home,’ penned a fourth.
So, what do you think?
Should Andy Sugden return to help Robert?

Yes!

Kelvin’s too busy on his farm!
