EastEnders legend Michael Greco reveals he’s returning to TV with role in ‘big Netflix drama’

MICHAEL Greco has revealed he's set to make a huge TV return after landing a role in a Netflix drama.

The 51-year-old took to Instagram to share the exciting news after teasing another job earlier this month.

Writing on his Instagram story, Michael said: "Don't often post about work but just been offered a great role in a new Netflix drama.

"Can't tell you how happy I am... Great start to 2022."

At the beginning of March Michael posted a snap of him at work, writing: "Good to be working on some green screen fun. #lovemyjob."

Michael - who played Beppe di Marco in EastEnders between 1998 and 2002 - shocked fans earlier this year when he made an appearance in Holby City.

He took on the role of role of a man called Antony, who found out his son Harry needed heart surgery.

And it seems fans are ready to see more of Michael on their screens as viewers rushed to social media at the time to share their joy.

One wrote on Twitter: "Hellooo Michael / Beppe," with a love heart eyes emoji.

A second said: "Nice to see Michael Greco."

A third chimed in: "OMG one of my OG crushes from EastEnders is on Holby. Michael Greco where have you been?"

"Michael Greco looking hot," a fourth added.

Last year Michael, who became a dad for the first time in July with partner Helen Harris, told The Sun that he was being blackmailed by a lookalike hacker - and fears photos of his son have landed in the wrong hands.

Michael had fallen victim to a devious hacker who is posting bizarre snaps of himself on the star's Instagram page.
