The 73-year-old has also starred in Coronation Street, Crossroads and Emmerdale.
A few months back, Derren Litten, the creator, hinted at the potential return of the show.
After launching a career as a radio DJ, Derren decided to make a comeback to TV and writing.
He released a statement that read: "It's been a difficult decision but I've decided to return back to writing for both television and theatre.
"I have had clear, recent indications that certain TV channels are interested in my decision and I hope you will be watching the fruits of my labour in time to come.
"Obviously there are always rumours surrounding such announcements but I would like to make it clear my decision to come out of retirement is purely to spend less time with my family."
