  Does anybody else really miss her? I think she had some of the best storylines the show has given.

  
  Originally she was good.
  
  However all of her returns have been poor.

  I agree with that. I hated the affair with Warren and then that rubbish when she was conning Cindy, something to do with paintings?! They never used her properly at all when she returned.

  ... And then she just disappeared, leaving Tony a note. Weird. Shame really, maybe the producers didn't know what to do with her.

  She was a a good actress but I feel a poorly written character. All they did was pour tragedy on her. Her lot was worse than EE's Ronnie and that's saying something!

  I don't miss Mandy as such, but I do miss how good Hollyoaks could be when she was on her first run - the Tony, Mandy and Grace storyline was one of the first that got me into it, and showed that a soap about young people could be just as heartbreaking and well-written as any of the others. They'd never have the sensitivity to deliver a storyline as well as that now.
  
  Shame she had so many terrible returns - the last one was awful, when she came back as Warren's accomplice on some strange mission against Tony. I think Paul Marquess was under pressure to pull something out of the bag after the Fire in Il Gnosh had to be rewritten. Warren's return worked - her's definitely didn't. No wonder she left.

  I still miss her I think shes gone for good now. Oh I miss the old days of Hollyoaks. Rewind 10 years and it was my fave soap, now its the worst.

  I don't miss her, although I agree that the standard has dropped markedly. If you miss the actress who played Mandy, I saw her in an episode of Casualty recently. I'm not sure if it was a one-off or if she is a regular cast member.

  I disagree. Yes she had a awful past but hers and Ronnie's where a little similar, both abused by there fathers, both lost a baby, however Ronnie went on to loose another two more.
  
  Ronnie and Sienna have more in common though.
