The actor played Oliver ‘Ollie’ Morgan, the long lost son of Luke Morgan.
But after two years in the E4 soap, Aedan was suddenly replaced by Gabriel Clark, who took over the role.
Aedan disappeared from the spotlight but has, however, now secured a brand new acting job – and has found himself on set with former glamour model Katie.
The soap star’s comeback will see him in the upcoming movie Jackie The Stripper.
The flick is set in London’s East End in 1888 and Aedan and Katie have both now been pictured while shooting the film.
Aedan’s signing was announced on the official Jackie The Stripper Instagram account.
It said: “Thrilled to welcome the fantastic @aedanduckworthhh to the cast as the self appointed leader of the internet ninja assassins, bringing the comedy and the charm.”
Aedan first appeared as Oliver in Hollyoaks in 2018.
His character was the son of Luke and Scarlett Morgan, half brother to Darren Osborne Jnr and the biological father of Thierry.
Ollie was later involved in a gritty grooming and sexual assault storyline with his football coach.

Aedan went on to win the Newcomer gong at the National Television Awards for his portrayal as Ollie.
However, in 2020 Aedan was suddenly replaced by actor Gabriel Clark, who continued playing the character until 2022.
Ollie left after attending the funeral of his father Luke before heading to Canada.
Meanwhile, Aedan has shared a snap of himself on the set of Jackie The Stripper alongside Katie Price and the rest of the cast.
He captioned it: “What a week shooting @jackiethestripperfeaturefilm alongside my amazing colleagues.”
Katie is seen standing in the back row of the cast line-up and is wearing a bright red blazer over a black top.
She has also shared her own behind-the-scenes pictures of herself wearing the same ensemble.
In one shot, she is standing in front of a film camera while she can be seen with a mic clipped to her black top in another.
Jackie The Stripper features a cast full of famous faces.
Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas will play Jack The Ripper, while Pussycat Dolls Kimberley Wyatt has also landed a part.
Meanwhile, Harry Potter actor James Phelps, who Fred Weasley, will also have a role in the new flick.
A source told Deadline Magazine of the plotline: “Only one man, John Grey (Webster), stands up to the Ripper, vowing to fight against the tyranny, carnage and male oppression that is left in the court’s wake.
“Cut to modern day, and a group of kick-ass female assassins, led by their leader Jackie, plan a series of hits that will leave The Court dead in their tracks.”
