A number of star names have made huge EastEnders comebacks in recent months.

The likes of Tracy-Ann Oberman, Joe Swash and Call The Midwife star Cliff Parisi have reprised their fan-favourite characters.

Meanwhile, Michael Greco, 54, played Beppe di Marco on the long-running serial drama from 1998 until 2002.

The Di Marco clan were introduced to EastEnders as rivals to the infamous Mitchell family.

Alongside Beppe, the line-up also included brother Gianni (Marc Bannerman) and younger sisters Teresa (Leila Birch) and Nicky (Carly Hillman).

Although he hasn’t appeared in Walford for a number of years, the actor still earns money from the soap.

This is when classic episodes air on TV as reruns, as he told Scott McGlynn on the Celebrity Skin Talk Show.

He admitted: “Yeah I know about the re-runs. I get a £1.27 repeat fees every six months from episodes.”

Despite a number of actors reprising their roles, the star lamented the fact that producers did not give him the call.

“I didn’t get the call, I wasn’t asked to go back at all,” he said.

“I’m not on their radar so, I think if wasn’t asked back to help with their 40th I don’t think I never go back.”

Michael added: “If they want you back they get you back. I used to be in the vice squad maybe that be my way to join back in, and arrest someone you know.”

This comes after actor previously slammed the way he left the serial drama, as he hinted that he wished he had more fanfare.

He told FruitySlots.com: “There were circumstances that prevented me from having a bigger send off, I won’t go into them as it’s water under the bridge.

“But I just left in a cab, didn’t I? I said goodbye to Lynn in the cafe and then had a packet of crisps and drove to Leicester.”

PROSPECTIVE buyers will know that trying to get on the property ladder is no easy feat.

House prices have been on the rise, with the average buyer paying around £300k to make their dream of home ownership come true.

To make matters worse upcoming changes to stamp duty, means hopeful homeowners could end up forking out more than they had a few years ago.

Extra stamp duty relief available to first-time buyers since 2022 will end in April 2025.

As a result, a first-time buyer purchasing a property valued at £425,000 will incur a stamp duty charge of £6,250.
