James Sutton wants Jorgie Porter back on Hollyoaks

James Sutton wants to start a campaign to bring Jorgie Porter back to ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 36-year-old star will reprise his ‘Hollyoaks’ role as John Paul McQueen in tonight’s (06.12.19) E4 episode, and he would love to be reunited with another member of the McQueen clan.
He said: "I’d bring Theresa back, played by Jorgie Porter, because I love her, so let’s campaign to bring Jorgie Porter back."
James is glad to be back in the famous village, and he is particularly enjoying working opposite his good friend Gregory Finnegan (James Nightingale) again.
He added: "It feels lovely to be back, it’s really nice and super friendly here.
"I’m in love with the new cast, they’re utterly gorgeous and wonderful and so talented, especially the youngsters. I watched Billy Price [Sid] filming a scene the other day and I was blown away, they’re super talented this lot, which is wonderful.
"And I get to work with Greg Finnegan again, which of course he’s thrilled about because I’m his best friend in the whole world and he loves working with me [laughs] but seriously, every day with Greg is a joy, we’re great friends and it’s brilliant to be working with him again."
Gregory recently admitted ‘Hollyoaks’ can "thank him" for James’ return after he "egged" his pal on to see if he could come back to the soap.
The 39-year-old actor told BANG Showbiz: "We’re really good mates, we’re writing partners, so I see him a lot anyway.
"We were having discussions about it in the early part of the year.
"He said, ‘Do you think there would be any interest in that?’
"I egged him on to get in touch and he was like, ‘Oh OK.’
"So I’m basically … you can thank me. We’re all really pleased."
But Gregory stopped short of directly asking the ‘Hollyoaks’ head honchos about James’ potential return.
Asked if he had a sneaky word with executive producer Bryan Kirkwood about James coming back to the village, he added: "No, I thought he could do that himself. I’d keep out of it.
"I don’t have that kind of sway. I’d love to say I did."
