Gemma Atkinson wants 'Hollyoaks' return
Former Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson has revealed that she would love to return for a guest stint in the soap.
The actress played the role of Lisa Hunter on the Channel 4 show from 2001 to 2005 and was also seen in late-night spinoffs Let Loose and In The City.
In an interview with Take 5, Atkinson confirmed that she is now keen to reprise her part as Lisa, even though she is unsure of how the comeback would work.
She explained: "I've not been asked to, but I'd love to go back for a few episodes.
"In the show, one brother has died, my sister is in France and the older brother is now in Emmerdale, so I don't know how they would introduce Lisa back."
Atkinson is currently appearing in a touring production of Calendar Girls which also stars Hannah Waterman, Letitia Dean and Lynda Bellingham.
Gemma Atkinson 'turned down Hollyoaks'
Gemma Atkinson has claimed that she turned down the chance to return to Hollyoaks on a 12-month contract.
The actress played Lisa Hunter on the Channel 4 soap between 2001 and 2005 and last year expressed an interest in returning to the programme for a guest stint.
However, speaking to the Daily Star, Atkinson explained that she ultimately rejected an offer to reprise her role as Lisa because she is now focusing on movie work.
She commented: "I've just finished on a film which I have co-directed and also acted in. I'm now working on two more films and have signed with an American agent to try and break it over there.
"Hollyoaks offered me a year contract but I turned it down as I don't want to get stuck in that rut again."
Lisa's eccentric brother Lee Hunter returned to Hollyoaks last year as Alex Carter made a comeback in the role after leaving Emmerdale.
