The comeback was both unexpected and welcome. “I was so pleased,” Porte says. “I love working on this show, so I was very disappointed to leave. But these things happen. Contracts come to an end, storylines come to an end, but I was always hoping that they would bring me back. That they put me in prison and didn’t kill me I thought was a good sign.”
