Amanda Burton, after an almost 18 year break from Silent Witness, will be returning as Sam Ryan. In the lead role, Amanda headed up the forensics teams from 1996 to 2004. It was recently revealed that she would return to the show to team up with her successor, Dr Nikki Alexander (played by Emilia Fox), as they work together to solve a case over a special six-part story. Will she stay on beyond the special?
The 65-year-old actress has been busy since she left Silent Witness almost two decades ago.
No stranger to the small screen, she has appeared in shows such as Marcella, Waterloo Road, and Anne Boleyn.
Now stepping back into a role that she thought may have been left in the past, she has opened up about whether she would consider helming the show long-term again.
She said: “No. No more Silent Witness.”

Amanda said in a statement released by the BBC: “I am so excited to be returning to Silent Witness and stepping back into Sam Ryan’s shoes – with a difference!
“Audiences can look forward to plenty of twists and turns as they discover what Sam’s been doing since leaving the Lyell.”
After taking on the role of pathologist Sam Ryan in 1996, her character left the show to return home to Northern Ireland to be with her family.
