This is the first character to return where we saw a body, which is usually a no-go for British soaps.
Kim Tate was killed off in early 1997, via a car accident or something along those lines. No body was shown. When they asked Claire King several months later if she wanted to return, she agreed, and viewers found out that there was a Kim lookalike who died, and the real Kim returned to confront Frank Tate, who was responsible for much of her "death."
In 2015 there was a very pathetic stunt involving Ross Barton, where his brother Pete "killed" him during a brawl, buried him in leaves, and left him. Mike Parr recorded a farewell message, and we were all meant to believe he was dead. Very few believed this, and they were proven right when Ross returned weeks later, with vengeance in mind.
