One of the returning faces will be Ric Griffin's ex-wife Lola, but only for a one-off episode. Actress Sharon D. Clarke previously shared her thoughts on making the return: "I spent three and a half happy years playing Lola.

"She was the kind of woman I would have loved to have seen on my screen when I was growing up. I was very proud to bring her to life and be a part of the Holby family. I'm so excited to be treading the wards again, and seeing what Lola will be getting up to for Holby’s 20th Anniversary.

"Hey, Ric, Lola's back in town!"

Denis Lawson's Tom Campbell-Gore is also back on the ward. Here, he'll be giving long-time rival Ric a run for his money at the Innovation Conference when the two compete for funding.

"I have great memories of my time on Holby City and I'm delighted to be back on my old stomping ground with the Holby cast and crew," Denis revealed.

Holby City airs on BBC One.
