GEMMA Atkinson has performed one of the greatest comebacks in soap - by returning to Hollyoaks two decades after she first joined.
The actress, now a 36-year-old mum of one, shared a picture of her on the set as her character Lisa Hunter. Looking very different to her previous first day on the soap, Gemma posed alongside Zara Morgan star Kelly Condron.
