Dan was involved in some dramatic storylines including the infamous Who Shot Phil Mitchell whodunnit.

He also kidnapped Melanie Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite) in a war with her husband Steve.

Craig spoke to OK! online about the possibility of making a comeback.

He said: “The only answer to that is you never know, it’s a funny old game!

“I think Dan is still hiding in Spain somewhere with a big bag of money!”

He added: “It’s funny as most actors don’t know what they’re doing tomorrow – All I can say is I had a great time on the show.”

Dan arrived in the Square in 1999 as Carol Jackson’s latest boyfriend.

Things soon got complicated though when it became clear he’d had a relationship with her daughter, Bianca, in the past.

Dan and Bianca struggled to keep their passion under control and ended up having an affair behind Carol’s back.
