What a career Gemma Bissex can boast of, and she is only 24 years old!

Gemma’s first major acting role was in Eastenders as Clare Bates, step-daughter of the oh so cute and geeky, Nigel Bates. She left and then a few years later landed another major soap role as evil Clare Cunningham in Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks.

Gemma’s final Hollyoaks scenes aired on Friday night as she died…..or did she???? And now Gemma has decided to return to her roots and will be stepping back onto Albert Square as Clare Bates in the New Year.

Confused? So were we!

An EastEnders source told The Sun:

“Clare goes back to Walford hoping to stay with Dot, who is thrilled to see her. But Clare seems cagey when asked about her stepdad, Nigel.”

They added: “She really shakes things up.”
