Although we've seen plenty of characters come from the dead on this show, one who definitely isn't returning is Dr Robert Ford, played by the great Anthony Hopkins in Season 1.

Ford, and Hopkins' weighty performance, was key to the success of Season 1, and that isn't something that can easily be replaced, especially not when the rest of the Delos employees simply cannot compete in terms of interest.

We find out where Stubbs is and what Charlotte's up to, and have a few other park operators come into play, but nothing they say or do really comes close to the musings of Ford, which is what really made the human side to this story work.
