What people are saying
A lot happened in Brazil that we’re going to find out about in the future, and the reason why he’s back in Walford at all
I think it’s going to be a really important and powerful storyline that’s going to help a lot of people
I think it’s a really unique and special thing that hasn’t been explored properly before, that hasn’t been shown on screen to the degree we’re going to do it.
Ben had this idea of a storyline that he's always wanted to do that has never been seen before with Sean, and that was a really big hook for me.
