Lyndon promises Emmerdale return if role is right
Emmerdale's Lyndon Ogbourne has promised he will 'definitely' return to the soap - if the story is right. Viewers will soon see his nasty alter ego Nathan Wylde leave the village shame-faced and penniless after Ryan Lamb exposes the fact he set him up for the murder of their dad. But Lyndon reckons we could see his smug character reappear one day. "I've got to make sure the reasons are right. At the moment I've stepped away to try and do new and different things, but if the moment is right I'd definitely consider it. "I've got to go back for the right reasons. If the story is exciting I owe it to the audience and will definitely tell it." And the actor said the circumstances of Nathan's departure could pave the way for an interesting return. "It's the most interesting and thought-provoking way he could leave. The producers haven't hidden the fact they'd like Nathan to return. "This way, he could come back a changed man or could have lived on the streets and come back even more disgraceful and violent."
