Do you think Chrissie will ever return to the Square? I had a thought that we might see it during Dominic's tenure. He was a storyliner during the whole Den's murder saga, so he was integral to Chrissie's big plot. Chrissie returning could be a fantastic plot for the 30th, running alongside other storylines as well. 10 years on from the night of Den's murder, she comes back, to repent. Seeing Chrissie try and find forgiveness from Sharon is something I feel is needed, to finally round of Chrissie as a character at least. Do you want Chrissie back? How would you go about it? |

She could come back, not sure how long shes been in jail. I guess it will be full murder, as she did plot to kill him, but she must be due for parole at least soon. But apart from stirring up Sharon, what would she come back for? Most of the residents would barely remember her now. |

She didn't plot to kill him did she? Didn't she wanted him to admit all the bad things he had done in front of Sharon, and he ended up dead after he lunged for Chrissie? I might be wrong. I don't think a full time return is an option, but I think after Chrissie was found out, we really missed out on Sharon and Chrissie having a traditional showdown. I'd say just bring her back for a short stint. My idea was that Dot would spot her in her church one night, having just been released. After hearing what she had to say, Dot would tale pity and bring her back to her house, as she has no where to go. Dot would obviously know that it would hurt Sharon if she knew Chrissie was about. It could then all lead to a big scene where Sharon meets Chrissie again. Then a big two hander, where we get to pick apart what Chrissie feels now about Den and the murder, and also offer a good opportunity for Sharon to really talk about her father, their relationship, and dip into the rest of her life as well, with Angie, Dennis etc. Obviously Chrissie wouldn't stay around, but I still think, as a character, she is missing her final chapter. |

I do like that idea, and as long as they stuck to what actually happened, not one of their silly retcons it would be brilliant. I seem to remember a scene of "the three witches" standing round a burning drum, I am sure the other two were Sam and Zoe and they cooked the idea up of doing away with him. They all had motive: Sam because he had swindled the Vic out of her Zoe because he was blackmailing her into sleeping with him Chrissie because she felt hard done by I have blocked a lot of that time out, because it was all so stupid and I really didnt like the way it was done or Den was written. but it would be nice for the two hander you suggest. |

It's not even just with Sharon that there is potential for explosions, think of her with Kat, Stacey (who was very high and mighty over Chrissie killing Den. What about now?) And the Mitchells in general ( Id hope Peggy was around). There's a lot to be said there, and with the 30th around the corner, is 2015 a good time? Id imagine Chrissie v Ronnie would be delicious and a real opportunity to see fiesty Chrissie as well as Chrissie who longs for forgiveness. |

be keen if Chrissie killed Ronnie off! but seriously, there are too many murders and deaths. I can see where you are coming from with Kat, though more to do with her forgotten daughter Zoe, I have forgotten Stacey getting involved with Dens murder. Apart from the Sharon connection, I dont think the Mitchells would really care too much about Chrissie or Den But the more I am thinking about it, the more I do like that two hander idea, exploring those issues. |

She tried to frame Sam! The Mitchells would be foaming at the mouth to spew some "faaahmlee" speeches. I'd love a two hander between them. So much to explore there, and it would be an explosive set up to get into. |

Ah Chrissie Watts one of my all time favourite femme fatales played by the wonderful and lustrous Tracey Ann Oberman, she held that entire 2004 for me and then she just got better and better during and after the Whole Den saga. She made such an impact on me and the audience in such a short space of time, something which a lot of characters/actors have a hard time of doing. This was how it went. Chrissie did not plan to kill Den, the whole reason why all the witches got together for a showdown with Den in the Vic was so they could (in particular Chrissie) get Den to sign off the pub to them, unfortunately for them Den knew how to play it he manipulated the whole situation and tried to turn them against each other however Den then finally met his match in Chrissie whereby she goaded him in telling them all the seedy little things he had done unknowingly in front of his perfect little princess. Sharon. A return for Chrissie would be great, I've always wanted her to come back but I don't want her to come back without any stories or links. It needs to be plausible. She could come back and ask for forgiveness from Sharon but I doubt that's something she would ever forgive, I know I definitely wouldn't if someone bumped off one of my family members and buried them under cement while then lying constantly to my face about it. I think Chrissie works as a bitch better than a holier than thou figure, otherwise to me she'd become boring. It's her manipulative bitchy streak that made her one of my favourites.

Chrissie was brought in for one particular character whom she eventually killed. Her story is done and a return could never be the same without Den. There's also too many killers on the square as it is especially when Ben inevitably returns. |

I'm quite surprised by how so many people support a return for Chrissie. Her return would have a very small impact on both the characters in the Square - AND a large portion of the population who watch the show. Oberman's an extraordinary actress, yes, and there MAY be some possibilities for a bit of drama with Sharon and Phil, but what would bring her back to the Square? Absolutely nothing, and I don't think her return would have too much of an impact anyway. But CAN she return? IF it did happen, it would have to be one episode of Sharon visiting her for a storyline about her confronting her past, but that's the most we could get from that. |

I'd have like to see her return when Carl and Kirsty we're still on the show as possibly an ex cell mate of Kirsty's but obviously that chance has gone now. Surely we have enough female killers on the square anyway though? Ronnie, Stacey and of course Janine still hasn't left the show yet. |

To be fair to Chrissie as a character, she lasted longer on screen without Den than she did on screen with him. She also managed 218 episodes in 19 month run. I think Shane Richie is the only actor to appear in more episodes within a characters first year. Her return would have impact for Sharon, Phil and Kat, but the storyline would require Sam or Zoe back on the Square with the former being the most likely. |

I loved the episodes between Sam, Chrissie and Kat after Zoe had left. Bringing Chrissie back would have an effect on Phiw, Sharon, Stacey and Kat, but only for a short time; what would she come back to the Square for? Who would want her to reappear? Where could she stay apart from the B&B, and what would be the point of it? I can't see it happening, but then again I never thought something like Tunagate would happen either!

I guess other aspects would be to finally explore what happened to Jake Moon... if anyone cares? We never had confirmation whether he was killed or not. Kate's no longer around, and to our knowledge doesn't know of Den's death or Chrissie's imprisonment. Zoe's been living in Ibiza for the last 9 years, Sam's served her time for her involvement in the crime - did we ever get confirmation of her meeting Chrissie in prison? |

Sadly I don't think she will ever return to Albert Square, but it would be interesting if she did, if only to see the reaction of Sharon. |

A full-time return would never work. Too much baggage there. But I think finding out how Chrissie is 10 years on, after what she's done, would be great viewing. |

I think the woman who saw off the mighty Den Watts, a catch up would be quite fitting for anniversary time. That said I doubt if would be a full time permanent return. To see her come back to Walford on the anniversary would great viewing in a two hander with Sharon, before coming into contact with the Mitchells and Kat. |
