Now, five years later, Nigel Havers has hinted that he would be up for starring in the soap again.
Lewis Archer was known for conning Audrey Roberts whilst managing to gain her trust and love.
He first appeared in 2009, leaving Audrey heart-broken when he stole four grand from the bookies.

Lewis then returned in 2012 and tried to get in with Audrey’s daughter, Gail Platt instead. Whilst pretending to have fallen for Gail, he robbed the family of £40,000.
In 2018, Lewis came back for the third time. He had promised Audrey that he’d changed but Gail didn’t believe him.
He was found dead in 2019 with an engagement ring in his hand, although Audrey soon discovered that £80,000 had been stolen from her.
With Audrey initially blaming Lewis, it was Nick who eventually confessed to taking the money from his grandmother.
Audrey was devastated after realising that Lewis was innocent, wishing that she’d had the chance to have a proper relationship with him.
