Two Doors Down star teases show's return with Christmas special
The BBC One comedy stars the likes of Elaine C Smith and Grado, with the most recent episode airing in November 2023.
The show's co-creator Simon Carlyle died at the age of 48 in August, shortly after filming finished on the recommissioned seventh series of the show.
The series is set around the residents of the fictional Glasgow suburb Latimer Crescent.
Hodgson, who plays Gordon in the series, told Scotland Tonight there has been no official announcement on a Christmas special.
But the comedian teased there may be some filming this year.
He said: 'I cannot possibly say things I can't possibly say…but I might be doing some filming in the next couple of months I don't know.
'We're like a family, it's great to reunite as we do socially. Were we to get back together there would be lots of love, happy memories and desire to make even more memories.'
Kieran will also take his new show Voice of America to this year's Edinburgh Fringe in stand-up form.
He added: 'This time I'm grabbing the mic and getting in your face in a very polite way.
'The story of the show is looking at this huge thing that is America with a little bit of a silly slant.'
Watch the full interview on Scotland Tonight at 10.50pm on Wednesday on STV and STV Player.

Albino Scots hypnotist backs SCIAF campaign to help Africans with condition
Fraser Penman is taking time out to back SCIAF's summer campaign to support people with disabilities. A Lanarkshire hypnotist described as 'Scotland's answer to Derren Brown' is using his experience of Albinism to help those affected by the condition in some of the poorest parts of the world. In the run up to his new headline show at the Edinburgh Fringe, mind reader Fraser Penman is taking time out to back SCIAF's summer campaign to support people with disabilities. In Scotland, one in 17,000 have Albinism, but in Malawi, where SCIAF works, it's one in 130. They may have been born more than 8,000 miles apart but Fraser and Baison Makolopa have more in common than you would think. Both hid from their genetic condition, albinism, and felt isolated from their communities. And both turned their lives - and fortunes - around to live life to the full. Fraser, 30, grew up in East Kilbride and still lives in the South Lanarkshire town. He was bullied at school when he was just eight-years-old 'because he was different', culminating in a violent gang attack when he was a teenager. Half a world away in southern Malawi, Baison Makolopa, 36, Baison has faced unimaginable challenges, even facing attempts on his life. He's one of almost 140,000 people in Malawi living with albinism – a condition that affects his vision and puts his skin at risk in the hot African sun. The brutal stigma around his condition almost cost Baison his life when attackers got into his home during the night. Fortunately, he escaped just in time before the intruders found him. Baison said: 'When I was attacked, I remember it was night-time, and I was sleeping. I heard people pushing open the door – there were people in my house! 'My house has two doors and so, by the time the attackers had got in, I was able to sneak out the other door. I was so scared and had many sleepless nights afterwards.' In Malawi, people with albinism can face extreme discrimination, isolation, and violence – and often extreme poverty. Harmful superstitions, like the belief that body parts from people with albinism bring luck, fuel violent attacks, leaving them vulnerable and afraid. Baison has found support in an unlikely place in Scotland. The Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF), through their local partner in Malawi, the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP), has provided skills training and grants to people like Baison, to help them develop their own business. This then enables people with albinism to earn a living and lift themselves out of poverty. They're also helping change attitudes in communities, working with people like Baison, the police, teachers, and leaders to fight stigma, prevent violence, and bring perpetrators to justice. Baison turned his life around after he first came into contact with SCIAF's partner, adding: 'They challenged us to believe in ourselves and encouraged us to start a business, so I started selling rice. Slowly, the business began to grow. Then I opened this shop.' Fraser says he's proud to support SCIAF's work with people with disabilities, including Albinism. He added: 'I love that SCIAF gives people the opportunity to believe in themselves and achieve their dreams by providing them with a pathway to unleash their imagination. 'I want to make a difference drawing on the struggles I had when I was younger. 'I am so proud to be associated with this campaign. SCIAF aligns with my mission in life which is to help anyone, no matter if they have a disability or not, to become the best version of themselves.' Donating to SCIAF's Dignity for All Appeal couldn't be simpler. It only takes a couple of minutes to donate at To give £5 you can text SCIAF to 70480 or to give £20 you can text SCIAF to 70450.

EastEnders shock as Oscar attacks a major character - and more trouble follows
EastEnders newbie Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) lands himself in hot water next week when he attacks one of his own. As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Oscar has recently returned to Walford having been released from a three-month stretch in a young offenders institute. He'd been locked up for joyriding and subsequently thrown out of mum Tanya's (Jo Joyner) house when his associates – who he'd tipped off the police about – attempted to petrol bomb her house. With nowhere else to go, sister Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) was forced to take him in. One of the lads, Mike (Tai Hilferink) has been sending a number of threatening messages since, determined to track him down and get revenge. In episodes that air this week, we'll see Mike turn up on Oscar's doorstep when he's babysitting nephews Louie (Jake McNally) and Jimmy, leaving a firm warning that he's not to be messed with. By next week, Lauren discovers the altercation, and insists that her brother ask their uncle Jack (Scott Maslen) for protection. Oscar is adamant to handle things himself – but of course, it doesn't exactly go to plan. Mike and his crony Harrison show up, and things kick off! Jack steps in, and Oscar is handed a final warning from Lauren. But that night, with his nerves growing, he hears a suspicious noise in the house and goes to investigate. More Trending Spotting a hooded figure, he lashes out – not realising that it's Lauren's fiancé Peter Beale (Thomas Law), who orders him to leave.
