Jorgie Porter confirms return to Hollyoaks for 25th anniversary
She left the soap four years ago!
Jorgie Porter has confirmed that she'll be returning to Hollyoaks for the soap's 25th anniversary! Jorgie, who played Theresa McQueen on the soap from 2008 - 2016, left the show four years ago and has appeared on Celebs Go Dating and in a UK tour of stage show Fame! the Musical since her departure.
However, she'll now be returning to Chester for Hollyoaks' 25th year, after Theresa left in March 2016 to start a new life in Spain with her daughters Kathleen-Angel and Myra-Pocahontas.
Of her return, Jorgie said, "I was excited but obviously a bit nervous. What if Theresa has gone out of my body and my mind? And the anticipation of coming back has taken so long because of lockdown but coming back felt just like home and as if I haven’t even been away for five minutes.
"Everyone’s still the same and they’re all amazing and inviting. I’ve been on set a few times now and I’ve had the best time and Theresa has literally jumped right back in to my body and my mind as if she’s never left."
