As she still watches the soap, she knows Paul Bradley has returned.
Soap Fans Are Bemused!
Meanwhile, Gemma played Clare Bates in the soap from 1993 to 1998. She returned to EastEnders as an adult in 2008. She reunited with Dot Cotton and had a brief romance with Bradey Branning. However, things ended when Bradley found out Clare’s plans to take his money and made her leave Walford.
Meanwhile, Nigel returned to the soap in 2024 along with Bianca Jackson, Grant Mitchell and David Wicks, who made their guest appearances at the same time. Gemma would reprise his role as Care in Hollyoaks, but it’s a secret. Her character is set to bring plenty of drama as the show celebrates its 30th anniversary. Gemma is glad to be back as she has risen from the dead.
Meanwhile, the fans are confused as to whether the actor is returning to EastEnders. One soap enthusiast said she is returning to Hollyoaks. They can’t believe that no one has tried calling Julie. One viewer suggested as Gemma is returning to Hollyoaks, she might have already filmed something like other surprise appearances.
