John said he would return if BBC bosses brought Roxy Mitchell back from the dead
The actor, who played the younger brother of Jane Beale in EastEnders, would return if bosses brought back Roxy Mitchell full time.
Fans watched as Rita Simons reprised her role as Roxy for a special scene with her onscreen daughter Amy.
Christian, who made his first appearance in 2008, was close friends with the Mitchell family member.
Speaking about the prospect of a return, John told RadioTimes: “I think if Rita did make a miraculous recovery, I do think that for Christian it would be his duty to have one final rock ‘n’ roll.
“I think he would have to come back from Birmingham, he’d have to leave his retail job in the Bullring [shopping centre] – I’m pretty sure that’s where he is, probably working for Jo Malone or The White Company in the Bullring – living his full retail fantasy.”
However, the 51-year-old did admit that the characters had a “shelf-life” but to “never say never”.
Following her apparent death along with her sister Ronnie in 2017, Roxy re-appeared as a figure of daughter Amy’s imagination.
It comes as the youngster has been left struggling with her mental health.
Roxy aimed to comfort her daughter after she was left reeling that she was not good enough.
In the scenes, set during a family therapy session, Amy was asked what she would say to her mum if she was around – to which she responded: “Did you ever really love me?”
As Amy continued how she imagined her mum would say she ‘loved her’, Roxy appeared next to her as she said: “Yes, my baby, yeah. With all of my heart.”
Roxy then told Amy she was “right here” as she gently pushed against her necklace that fell above her heart.
