Viewers will remember that Crowley was the doctor who helped Joe in his organ steaming scam.
With Joe needing a new organ to survive, Joe paid the doctor handsomely to illegal operate on an unwilling victim in order to save Joe's life.
He ended up taking Caleb Miligan's kidney after he was stabbed and transplanting it into Joe before fleeing the country.
However he will now make a shock return and take Joe captive with a fiendish plan.
Actor James Hillier will be back on screens next week as part of the plot.
Joe actor Ned Porteous has opened up about the moment Joe finds himself knocked out and coming to in a makeshift operating theatre while the bad doctor looks on.
"[Joe's] very confused, very scared,' he said.
'A very powerless situation for Joe to be in."
And talking about working with James again, Ned said: "He's a really, really lovely guy.
"I enjoy working with him, and the character that he built is fun, it's got more dimensions than just a helper, and it serves as a very interesting character going forward.

"Hopefully the audience likes what we do with it, because it all gets a bit crazy."
He added of Joe: "I like to believe that he's just doing what he has to do to survive, and I think if you were to hold that mirror up to everyone and say, 'What would you do if your life really depended on it?' Could you really ask yourself... you wouldn't do that?
"People say that they wouldn't want to, and it's not the right thing to do. Of course it's the wrong thing to do, it's completely unethical, it's completely immoral, but he was fighting for his life and now he's just having to pick up the scraps, I guess."

Ben Shelton's sister booed by Wimbedon crowd when job revealed
Ben Shelton launched a public plea for his sister to get some extra time off from her job at investment bank Morgan Stanley so she could remain at Wimbledon to cheer for him. It worked. After advancing to face Italy's Lorenzo Sonego on Monday in the fourth round, Shelton spoke in an on-court interview in front of a crowd that included his sister, Emma, and his girlfriend, United States women's national team star Trinity Rodman. "I've been playing well this week. It's not just been me here. I have a great team. My parents are here. My girlfriend's here. 'Also, my sister's here. She's been here for every match that I've played this tournament so far. She's been the lucky charm," said the 10th-seeded Shelton, a 22-year-old American who has appeared in two Grand Slam semi-finals. "But she has work back in the US, starting on Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley." That comment drew some jovial boos from spectators as Emma embarrassingly covered her face with her hands. "If any of you all have some (connections) and get her a couple extra days off so she can (stay and) we can keep this rolling," Shelton continued after his 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory over Marton Fucsovics of Hungary on Saturday, "that'd be great." Sure enough, hours later, Emma posted a short video on Instagram in which Ben is heard asking her, "You got the week off or what?" She jumps up and down with her arms raised and a wide smile, and Ben says, "Shoutout, Morgan Stanley." The caption reads: "thank you MS" with three blue heart emojis and "return flight: cancelled." Ben Shelton, who has won all nine sets he's played in the first week at the All England Club, takes on Italy's Lorenzo Sonego on Monday. The American previously beat Sonego in the Australian Open quarter-finals in January.

Love Island CHAOS looming as lad ‘does bits' with Casa Amor girl in unaired scenes
CASA Amor has exploded in drama as one lad has already BEDDED a new girl in saucy yet-to-air scenes. The boy has utterly failed Love Island's relationship test by 'doing bits' with a Casa girl just hours into the fan-favourite segment, The Sun can reveal. 5 5 5 The Sun is keeping shtum on the identity of the feral fella and the girl to preserve the shock for viewers when the outrageous moment comes to screens. But we can reveal that the boy in question has already caused heartache and tears this series with another love triangle. The raunchy action happened on Friday night when the duo shared a moment under the duvet in the main bedroom. A source said: 'This could be one of the most shocking Casa moments since Andrew Le Page licked Coco's tit or whatever. 'They hit it off and one thing led to another. 'It was all under the duvet in the main bedroom on Friday night, but viewers will have to wait and see if ITV decide to air the footage or not. 'Tonight's show - Sunday - will show what happens on the first day of Casa Amor so, if execs do decide to screen the bedroom moment at all, it might not be until Monday's episode or even Tuesday as there's so much drama already. 'It's already looking like this could be one of the best Casa Amors ever. 'The lad has been in a love triangle and has made a girl cry with his actions.' Love Island's Harry is left stunned as ex-girlfriend arrives in first look at Casa Amor The Sun revealed yesterday that one Casa Amor girl, Lauren Wood, comes into the show with experience of the villa because she was one of this year's Dry Run Islanders. She was part of the group who stayed over for a few nights before the OGs moved in to test out camera angles and so on. CASA A-PHWOAR The iconic segment of the hit dating show officially makes its return tonight - and there's no messing around where the boys are concerned. As they get settled into Casa, Dejon suggests spicing up the atmosphere with a game of Truth or Dare so that everyone can get to know each other on a deeper level. This soon leads to Casa snogs, as Ben engages in a three way kiss with the bombshells of his choice - one of which is Harry's ex, Emma. But that's not the only cheeky interaction that takes place, with Harrison snogging one of the bombshells he's most attracted to. And as the kiss lingers a little bit too long, the group tells them that they can stop. Harry also reunites with his ex Emma as they head into Casa Amor, and confirms that the 'E' tattooed on his wrist is in fact for her. Harry and Emma are reacquainted, as she tells him: 'Surprise!' The group sits down and the Islanders share what their types are. When Yaz explains that she requires emotional availability from a man, Emma whispers to Harry 'well that's you out.' When quizzed about how strong out of 10 his relationship is with Toni, Harrison tells the new Bombshells: 'Seven, could be better..' When asked if any of the new girls have caught his eye, Tommy tells the group: 'There's definitely a few of you that tickle my fancy.' Catching up with his ex, Harry says: 'I don't need you to come and tell me off.' Emma is also quick to call Harry and Helena 'snakes,' after their recent villa behaviour. Emma responds: ''It's disgraceful though… like, how are you still doing the same thing? 'The way you've been moving with Helena honestly… you two deserve each other… two snakes.' 5 5
