HO- is Gemma Bissix back for good this time?
Anyone know how long Gemma and Clare Devine are back for? Surely now they've introduced her Dad they are planning on fleshing out the character for a longer stay. It would be such a waste to kill her off. Surely BK wouldn't do that to one of his greatest creations?!

She's back permanently. When it was announced earlier this year, and Bissix has done several interviews which said she'd be back temporarily over the summer before returning on a permanent basis towards the end of the year.

I hope so. She should be added to the opening titles as well. They've made all this effort introducing Clare's father so be a shame to waste it. She should stick around for a good while!

Someone on this forum said a audition tape leaked where Clare was meant to be killed off. I have only heard one person say it and I'm sure the poster is telling fibs.
Gemma doesn't say how long she's back on her interview with Soap Squawk. But in interviews from her last stint she said her second stint this year is more permeant. Hope this helps OP

Thanks. Really hope she is back for a while as (written correctly) Clare has the potential to be one of the best characters on the show.

No. It's just a guest stint and as such she is credited as a guest cast member in the closing credits.

After her awful stint earlier this year she later said that she wasn't back permanently but that Clare suited coming in and out.
She's not staying. |

I have the audition tape that I originally came across saved, if that would help?
It revealed that Trevor was working for Fraser, that Fraser was her dad and more revealed before Fraser even appeared on screen. The actress, Jade Yourell, was auditioning for the character of Kate who is Clare's sister, and she claimed she was determined to find out who killed Clare. To me that either means Clare dies or Clare is on another one of her scams and is pretending to be dead. Of course, plans behind the scenes can change but you might remember a few years back when I came across B J Hogg's audition tape for Seamus Brady... the script he was reading featured him flirting with Frankie whilst sat around a table in the Dog with Ste and Brendan (BEFORE it was announced that they were reuniting). As this script did end up actually happening in an episode, it tells me that they often do use actual episode scripts for audition pieces which gives us even more evidence that the "Who Killed Clare" storyline *could* happen. Gemma Bissix being credited as guest cast though... sorta clinches it for me. Of course, things can change as they are notorious for last-minute edits. EDIT: I'm not going to re-post it online but I've written up a transcript of it. Another thing I've noticed is it hints at Mercedes/Trevor, which is coming up in a few weeks. Kate and her "adoptive" brother Trevor having a bit of banter: Kate: *laughs* That was hilarious. Trevor: What was? Kate: Mercedes scratching that shop girl's eyes out - talk about cheap! They should have called her Skoda. Trevor: Funny thing though, she reminds me of you... No joke, she knows what she wants, and she goes for it. Kate: And what does trashy little Mercedes want? Boobs like Jordan and a timeshare in Marbella? Trevor: Nah, me. Kate: Oh, here we go. Just 'cos she's female she must have a thing for Trevor Royle? Trevor: Easy to read the signs, if you know where to look. Kate: Don't tell me you like her...? Trevor: It's more than just "like". So what do you care anyway? Jealous? Kate: As if. There's nothing less of a turn on than a bloke who works for ya. Trevor: I work for Fraser. Kate: And he told you to do whatever I say - which means I'M your boss. So I'll have a Whiskey Sour, thanks Trev. Go easy on the egg whites... I'll be sending it straight back. Kate and her father Fraser being sentimental and challenging: Fraser: What the hell was that about? Kate: She's hiding something. Fraser: Lindsey? Doubt it. Kate: Something about Clare. Fraser: Lindsey's a good girl and Joe loves her. Don't mess with them. Kate: Are you going soft in your old age? This is my sister we're talking about! Your daughter! And you don't care that Lindsey might know who killed her? Remember our holiday in Barcelona? What must I have been, 15? There was this German boy in the next room. Felix. Fit. Knew it. The night he went off to the big match, I tried it on with him. I crashed and burnt. Clare smuggled up some beers from the downstairs lobby. We got drunk, watched Big Brother, perved over the hot presenter. Next day, hangover as big as the Med. But I soon forgot about Felix. She knew what I needed, even if I didn't. Fraser: But that was Clare. Kate: She snogged Felix two days later. Fraser: Yep. That was Clare too. Kate: Now she's gone. Fraser: Not if we keep remembering her. Take talking about it. Keeps them alive doing that. Kate: But eventually you stop talking about them, and they're still not there! Look, I know you have a soft touch with Sandy's brood but... Fraser: Stay away. Kate: Let me tell you something else about Barcelona. I promised I would never let a man control my life like that; and that includes you. Fraser: Kate, I'm warning you. Kate: I'm gonna find out who killed Clare. And if that means messing with your precious Roscoes... Bring it on. Kate seems like a fantastic character... reminds me a bit of Mitzeee in a way... powerful woman. |

Sometimes an actor/actress is credited as a guest even if they're a long term thing. When Cindy returned in June 2008, she wasn't credited as a regular until early 2009. Theresa McQueen was also credited as a guest for her first few months.

Yes, that's true. And while Trevor too is still credited as a guest, I think that's because the decision to make him a regular character was made later on and so that change will happen in a future block.
I just think if she was back full time then she would have been added to the regular cast immediately in this case as they would have long term plans... |

The actress posted her audition tape online. Same thing that happened with BJ Hogg. Once she was informed how much she had spoilt future storylines she took it down immediately.
Lots of actors post their videos online. Lucy Dixon (Tilly) has recently posted some of her auditions for a character called "Eleanor". I haven't watched it so I don't know what programme it's for. And to answer your second question... I'm guessing shock factor. Which sadly I have kinda ruined by sharing my findings, but I'm sure most viewers will be shocked if it does end up happening. |

How did this manage to leak? Why would they bring Clare back just to kill her off?
hollyoaks really need to reign in the writings, all this death and destruction is beyond ridiculous now |

It makes no difference to me whether you choose to believe it or not.
This stuff happens all the time. I don't think auditionees are bound by any contract to keep their audition piece private. I'd imagine that only happens once they're signed. As Jade took off to LA soon after her audition I'm guessing she didn't get the part. This is one of Lucy's audition tapes she put up on her Vimeo account. https://vimeo.com/72615563 |

But don't they usually put together mock scripts for auditions?
How often do they use a real script (much less one chocker full of spoilers) for an audition? It's like with Doctor Who. The producer wrote a scene specifically for the audition of a new companion as opposed to putting spoilers in from an actual episode that would be leaked. |
