The return coincides with Charlie Fairhead's exit from the show.
Derek, who has played Charlie Fairhead since the very first episode of the medical drama, will be filming until the autumn.
Sunetra said: ‘I’m going back for a special double episode because our lovely Charlie who has been there forever is going to leave the show. So I’m going back to make sure I get my last little moment with him.’Derek’s co-star, Elinor Lawless, recently spoke to Metro.co.uk about Charlie’s departure from the show as well.‘We’re prepping for this exit right now. I remember joining the show, he sets the tone really, for the cast.
‘That’s where you see Stevie at the beginning of this trajectory, it’s this huge story that will culminate in the exit of a legend’, she added.‘I think that he really is a cornerstone, he’s an anchor for the whole ethos of the ED. It definitely promises to be a real shocking, exciting, gut-wrenching and hopefully edge of your seat stuff.’
Executive Producer, Jon Sen, previously said: ‘Derek and I would often joke that, after such a long and dramatic career in the, there was almost nothing that Charlie hadn’t seen. So it was an amazing surprise to me when Derek arrived with a brilliant idea for Charlie’s exit as part of an upcoming storyline, which was too good to pass up. We will all miss Derek enormously.
‘Over nearly four decades, Derek has crafted an iconic character who is woven into the fabric of British TV history. We will miss his craft, his humour and his on-screen presence. We’re also going to miss a friend, so for the next few months we’re going to have a ball filming Charlie’s final chapter.’
