Ryan is the biological father of Lily Slater, who viewers know is expecting a baby despite being a child herself.

He was last seen in 2016 having been released from prison early – despite being a killer.

Ryan ‘accidentally’ killed Rob Grayson in an effort to protect his then vulnerable sister Whitney Dean.

Actor Neil has already filmed his scenes and will be seen next month.

The BBC revealed: “Ryan’s character remains connected to Walford having first landed on our screens in 2009 as Whitney Dean’s half-brother.
