EastEnders legend who took a 13-year break from TV is now readying for a major return to screens.
Sean Maguire, who is best known for his alter-ego role on Albert Square as drug addict Aidan Brosnan, is about to grace TV screens once again after quitting TV for over a decade. While he won’t be returning to his former 1993 role on the soap he does have another great drama lined up.
The 47-year-old will once again be reprising his role in Death In Paradise, as Marlon Collins as the production returns for the 13th series. Sean is no stranger to the cast, after he made it onto the show when it first debuted in 2011, playing the same character.
