Richard Blackwood wants EastEnders return

Richard Blackwood thinks ‘EastEnders’ should bring back Vincent Hubbard.
The 46-year-old actor has admitted that while he couldn’t be certain whether or not whether his alter-ego will return to Albert Square, he thinks it would be a "smart move" for the soap to bring back his character.
When asked if he’ll be back on ‘Good Morning Britain’, he said: "I don’t know. I’ll be honest, I don’t really know. I think it’s a smart move. I want to go back – ‘EastEnders’, I would go back. I’ve just had a baby on the show – I don’t want to be an absentee dad!"
The ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant previously confessed to missing the drama and insisted that he would "happily go back" if he was approached.
He said:"I’m missing it in terms of the good times that I had there and the family I had there.
"But also, I’m happy to watch it from afar and see how it’s developing, but you know I’d always go back there.
"If there is a chance, I’d happily go back. [The door] is slightly ajar, everyone loves a Vincent so I’m happy about that."
The star also explained on the show that he may have an advantage when it comes to his stint on ‘Dancing On Ice’ as he went to an "ice skate school" while growing up in Sweden.
When asked by host Kate Garraway whether he could skate or not, he said: "My mum went to live in Sweden when I was three or four years old.
"I used to go to school there and I would ski to school and ice-skate to school.
"I then used to skate every Wednesday and Friday at Streatham ice-rink, that was like the local hangout."
