Pleas for their possible return, Turner\u2019s especially, were rampant on forums, theorising scenarios and even whole season-wide plots that could lead to their comebacks. <\/span><\/p>\n Even the the actors themselves had an idea, positing a possible one-off Christmas special that reunited Mitchell, Annie and George in either Heaven or Hell at a convention back in 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> as Being Human turns 15 years old, creator Toby Whithouse<\/a> opened up about his own thoughts on the cast\u2019s idea, and if he\u2019d ever considered it himself.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe thing is all three of the characters are dead! If I could come up with a good enough story, I\u2019d be pitching it to the BBC,\u201d he told us at the Being Human reunion at BFI Southbank as part of its In Dreams Are Monsters season.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been asked in the past, people say \u2018God, it must\u2019ve been really hard when the original cast left, that must\u2019ve been so difficult for you.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBut I have to say, as much as I love that first cast, what I think would have been harder would\u2019ve been to maintain the quality of what we had, particularly in season 3, with the same characters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s clear that Whithouse is cautious about returning to the same characters and worlds just for nostalgia\u2019s sake, and knows the importance of keeping things fresh and reinventing in order to keep audiences on the edges of their seats. <\/span><\/p>\n This focus on retooling and redefining was at the heart of what kept Being Human on the airwaves for five seasons, ensuring that the show kept moving forward by expanding the world beyond the first trio.<\/span><\/p> \u201cThe secret was to kind of go for broke,\u201d Whithouse explained.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWith the new iterations of the characters, we made them the polar opposites. Where Mitchell had this smouldering fallen rock star persona, we gave Hal OCD, making him tight and rigid and controlled. George was someone who was very fastidious, compartmentalising his life, so then Tom became utterly at home with his animal side and it was the human side he struggled with.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Although Whithouse has no Christmas special plans in place, the reveal of a now-scrapped Being Human movie leaves the door ajar that perhaps, some day, he could return to these characters and breathe new life into the rustic apartments of Honolulu Heights.<\/span><\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/Toby-Whithouse-ab6e90f-e1676647156127.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
