Just spotted Gemma Bissix at the BSA, it just got me thinking since she was sat with Tamara (Grace Black), would you ever accept a Clare return? Just out of curiosity, since her exit proved to be a bit of a disappointment in her recent return.

I guess crazier things have happened in the soaps I'd probably accept it myself!

Yes. I loved her character even though her return and exit were crap and all for show. Gemma is very talented and Claire was the best villain of nay show ever.

I don't see how it could be done, but I would be very much up for it and would over look the ridiculousness. Clare was a much better character than Grace, and I do love Gemma Bissix!

Clare is sooo much of a better character than Grace. Grace is hardly a replacement. But I don't see any possibility to bring her back, she was seen with her neck broken. Not even Warren could survive that! I only suspect she was as the BSA because the Hollyoaks blast happened in the past year.

No, her second and third stints were awful, even though I regard her as one of my favourite ever soap villians I'm glad she has gone.

No. She was better than Grace, but I still didn't like her.

Then again, I didn't watch the show around 2007 time in her first stint when she was supposed to be at her best. I only really saw her in her latest stint, when she kidnapped Mercedes, and then got run over.

Her first stint was great, that was the Clare I loved the returns she made were awful.

Omg you really did miss out! I'd say watch some clips on Youtube but to be honest it probably wouldn't stand out because the show as a whole was on fire then and it seemed most of the storylines just worked. Still might be worth it though to see what you think

Her 2007 stint was incredible, in my opinion she was miles above Janine Butcher (EE), Tracy Barlow (CS) at this point in being a soap b***h

Well stranger things have happened. If they could then i'd be up for it.

Clare was in prison and she changed her surname to Devine so maybe with her father back in her life at that time she faked her death in real life so that was all for show with her being knocked down hmm don't know if that can work don't think that would fly.

Shame she went that way as she had so much more to give.

If they could really find a way then yes i'd love it.

Maybe a flashback with Clare and Grace for a current storyline?

I'd be happy to see Gemma back in Eastenders under the right direction but Clare Devine was the better character.

Yes, if she came back toned down like she was just before she died. No crazy hair, no stupid heels and bright red lipstick and a bit more serious.

BUT we saw her die and zipped up in a body bag on screen do I doubt they could get away with it in the way they did with Warren.

Then again I wouldn't be surprised if she suddenly returned and was responsible for killing Fraser.

This is it. I see your point and they kinda did turn her down as she had a cream coat on similar to who pushed Clare and not any red. I do think some red was part of the character as her original exit with the red heals and coat etc. But they over did it April last year.
