"Ex-Hollyoaks star Kevin Sacre has told Digital Spy he would like to return as Jake Dean, even though he &amp;quot;wouldn&amp;#039;t recognise half the characters&amp;quot; currently on the soap. The actor, who left the Channel 4 show in 2010 after eight years, said he is more open to making a comeback following the returns of old co-stars James Sutton (John Paul McQueen) and Gemma Bissix (Clare Devine), as well as producer Bryan Kirkwood.   &amp;quot;I haven&amp;#039;t seen [Hollyoaks] in so long,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;This sounds bad, but I barely watched it when I was in it. I wouldn&amp;#039;t even recognise half the characters now. &amp;quot;I know James [Sutton] has gone back and Gemma Bissix is dipping in and out, so it must be good. I dunno, maybe Jake should go back.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;I would go back if the story was right, especially because Bryan Kirkwood&amp;#039;s back there now. Some of my mates are back now too.&amp;quot; Sacre added that he is &amp;quot;so proud&amp;quot; of his former Hollyoaks colleague Chris Fountain, who played Jake&amp;#039;s love rival Justin Burton before appearing in Coronation Street as Tommy Duckworth.  &amp;quot;Chris is doing fab. I&amp;#039;m so proud of seeing where Chris has gone from the actor he was when he first started,&amp;quot; Sacre said. &amp;quot;Boy done good. He&amp;#039;s a good lad.&amp;quot; The star went on to comment that he has respect for Fountain&amp;#039;s impressive physique, especially since he always hated showing off his own body in nude shoots. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s ripped now, when did that happen?&amp;quot; he commented. &amp;quot;I hated [the Hollyoaks photoshoots]. They never helped me, they were more of a hindrance.  &amp;quot;I did one and I hated every second of it. Standing next to guys with eight packs, who haven&amp;#039;t got an ounce of fat on them, I was like, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m just going to go and kill myself now&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
