‘Our Girl’ creator hints at returning character in Season 2

Posted Filed under

The writer of Our Girl has hinted that actor Ben Aldridge could return as Captain Charles James in the second season.

It was announced at the weekend that BBC One’s army drama will return for five new episodes in 2016, but with former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan replacing Lacey Turner in the lead role.

Season 2 will be set in a Kenyan refugee camp and no returning cast members have yet been confirmed.

However, asked if “a certain Captain” could be coming back, Our Girl creator Tony Grounds teased on Twitter: “That’s the plan.”

The writer previously revealed: “[It] was Lacey’s choice to stay at EE.”

Ben Aldridge suggested in January that he was interested in playing Captain James again, tweeting: “Can’t thank you enough for the kind comments for old CptJ. Overwhelming. Bring back Two Section 2015? Sure.”

The first season of Our Girl concluded last October on BBC One.
