HOLLYOAKS is bringing its most legendary villain back from the dead – and we’ve got the first pictures of her back in action.
The soap has began filming scenes for the comeback now.
Actress is back on set as The Sun exclusively revealed last month.
And now pictures show her getting back into action as since the schemer was seemingly killed by killer Dr Browning.
In a green top and dungaree, Gemma can be seen taking a break from filming, chatting on the phone and catching up on her scripts.
And it’s like she hasn’t aged a day since she was last on the Hollyoaks set.
It has also been revealed that bosses at the Channel 4 soap have tempted .
The pair have a brutal history with Clare terrorising then child Tom when she was busy fleecing his guardian, brother Max Cunningham.
In dark scenes Claire had Tom locked up while she drugged Max.
She even faked Tom’s death to get a drugged Max to jump into an icy lake in an effort to kill him and take his fortune for herself.
A source said: “Tom is a huge fan favourite and was a major part of Clare’s first years in – but now he’s not a little boy anymore.
“Clare might have had the upper hand before but not anymore.
“It was a no brainer to revisit the battle and have a rematch. Bosses are really excited to have Gemma and Ellis back.
“Ellis’ stint will be part of the run up to the big 30th anniversary in October and there are huge plans underway for it.”;;
It’s been a huge year for Hollyoaks having last year been forced to cut its episodes down to three per week.
However it has proved a major success for the show under the direction of executive producer Hannah Cheers.
The move to streaming first has seen a 23 per cent increase in total viewership and a whopping 71 per cent up per episode.
Louise Donald, Commissioning Executive for Channel 4 Drama, Hollyoaks says: “We are delighted with how well the audience has embraced the new format.
“It’s testament to Hannah’s vision for the show, the amazing storylines and performances.
“As Hollyoaks celebrates its 30th anniversary it’s fantastic to see the show continue to tackle important social issues whilst keeping viewers entertained.”;;
