EastEnders Actress Gemma Reveals She Hasn’t Asked To Return 

EastEnders recently revealed that Nigel Bates is suffering from on-set young dementia. It seems that day by day his condition has been getting worse. But one thing has been constant in between all of this – him missing his stepdaughter, Clare. We all know that nothing happens on the soap for no reason.

Well, this aroused the question even more if Gemma is coming back. Actress Gemma Bissix has now opened up about if she is returning to the soap. The actress revealed that the soap has not asked her to come back. She said, “No, they didn’t ask me. I think they did fantastic with their 40th birthday celebrations.” Gemma further added that the soap brought many characters back from the 90s and actor Paul is doing well with his dementia stint. “And you know, realistically, had that sort of thing come to cards, that storyline would have probably been,” she added.
