EastEnders and Hollyoaks star Gemma Bissix unrecognisable 29 years after making soap debut
GEMMA Bissix first appeared on our screens almost three decades ago as fresh-faced nine-year-old Clare Bates. The EastEnders star was a much-loved character in the long-running soap before later joining Hollyoaks as iconic character Clare Devine. Fans will recognise Gemma, 38, from her younger years, when she was cast as young Clare aged nine - who she acted as her throughout her teens.
