‘Hollyoaks’ Spoilers: Davinia Taylor Set For Soap Return After 18 Years

The Cunningham sisters are going to be reunited.

We love a good blast from the past, and it seems ‘Hollyoaks’ bosses do too, as they’ve announced the return of Jude Cunningham.

The character, played by Davinia Taylor, was last seen in the village way back in 1998, when she fled Chester after a failed jewellery heist.

Her character Jude will be reunited with her sister, Cindy Cunningham, who has had more than her fair share of drama in recent years.

Davinia will make her return in the Autumn but before that, another face fans will recognise is going to arrive in the village, as a former popstar has also joined the cast.
