FORMER EastEnders star Jack Ryder is set to appear on Doctors.
The actor – best known for playing Jamie Mitchell on the Walford-based soap – will turn up on Doctors next week ahead of a stint on Holby City later this year.
He'll play the role of Grant – the dead husband of Charlotte Hill, who's played by ex-Coronation Street star Debra Stephenson.
The show will use flashbacks to tell the story as Charlotte fights to clear her name for Grant's murder.
Debra told InsideSoap: "[Charlotte] was imprisoned for the murder of her husband Grant, but her conviction has been quashed because of a forensics mix-up.
"So she's lonely and vulnerable and desperately trying to clear her name.
"Over the next few weeks, viewers will probably be going backwards and forwards with what they make of her. Is she capable of having murdered her husband, or is she a completely innocent woman who's been hard done by?"
Valerie Pitman – played by Sarah Moyle – will also become a suspect after it's revealed she used to work with Grant and fancied him.
Debra added: "Charlotte's absolutely furious.
"She believes that Valerie killed Grant.
