Hollyoaks spoiler: Kathy Barnes to make shock return to Hollyoaks after nine years away for the funeral of daughter Amy
She is set to return to the village after the shock 'murder' following Amy's fairy tale wedding
HOLLYOAKS star Sarah Jane Buckley is set to reprise her role as Kathy Barnes next month when she returns for daughter Amy’s funeral.
The 49-year-old will make her grand comeback to the village after Amy’s husband Ryan, played by Duncan James, finds her dead.
Kathy left the soap in 2008 after husband Mike threw her out the house.
A source told The Sun’s Bizarre column: “Sarah has made no secret of wanting to return to the soap from the day she left nine years ago.
“The new scenes are going to be explosive and she hopes bosses will be suitably impressed.
“She is one of a few of the old characters making a return over the next few months.”
Kathy left in 2008 after husband Mike asked her to leave following her reign of terror over the Ashworth family.
Husband Mike threw her out and Kathy headed away to live with her mum.
She continued: “I think it would be an amazing storyline for her to come back and cause loads of trouble in the village with this younger man.
“I wish they’d bring her back. I had so much more to do with her. I was sad to leave. I didn’t want to leave at all.”
Hunk Duncan James revealed last week that his character suspects “murder” when he finds wife Amy dead.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, he said: “Ryan came home and discovered her dead.
"Because he's a policeman he realises the situation isn't right.
"With his detective hat on he thinks this could be a murder."
