Actor Sid Owen, known for his role as Ricky Butcher on EastEnders, discusses the possibility of returning to the soap opera. While there are no immediate plans, he leaves the door open and mentions staying in touch with former cast members.
Sid Owen , who played cheeky Ricky Butcher in EastEnders from 1988 until 2000 and has returned to Albert Square three times since, has opened up about whether he would consider another return to Walford in the future. The actor, who is starring in a new film called A Day With An Eating Disorder, has said that there are no immediate plans for him to return to the soap, but “never say never.”
“It would be my fifth time but there’s no plans right now,” he says. “I stay in touch with everyone so you never know what might happen in the future.” There is certainly the possibility of a return, as this month has seen his character Ricky’s ex-wife Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer, coming back to the square to sort out her sister Sonia’s troubles.
Sid, who is now 52 and was just 16 when he joined EastEnders, has most recently appeared on TV in the prison-set reality show Banged Up in 2023. He is one of a group of celebrities who agreed to appear for free in filmmaker Lynn Crilly’s project about eating disorders and mental health, A Day With An Eating Disorder, that also features Missing actor Paul Cooper, reality star Jessica Impiazzi, comedian Bobby Davros and former Hollyoaks star Mikayla Dodd.
Off-screen, the actor is now a dad to two year old daughter Skye with partner Victoria Shore. “It’s great,” he says about life as a father. “Tiring, but I’m loving every minute of it.” When Skye was born he posted a photo of himself in the hospital kissing Victoria to announce their baby’s arrival. He captioned the pic with the words: "Been a long a day. But. Can I say. I love you Victoria. Thank you for our baby.
