Actress is sorely missed on the soap

| Updated:

Gemma Atkinson has excited fans with a selfie of herself with Emmerdale co-star Mark Charnock.

The gorgeous actress, who played Carly Hope for two years, walked away from the soap and is focusing on her fitness and radio presenting job.

Looking as stunning as ever, Gemma posed with Mark, 48, who was looking super trendy in a striped tee and cool glasses.

“Reunited!!! @markcharnock oh how I’ve missed your face!”, she wrote.

But what does this mean? Could they be discussing her comeback to the Dales?

Gem’s fans are desperate for her to make a return.

One said: “Does that mean you’re coming back in Emmerdale?”.

“Hope you will come back some time”, said another hopeful Instagram user.

A third begged: “Please come back 😩😊”.

“It’s about time you came back to Emmerdale”, added one frustrated soap fan.

Gemma left the soap after her ex Matt came back to see her and resolve their feelings.

Poor Marlon was left heartbroken after she dumped him for Matt.

Talking to Metro recently, the 32-year-old fitness fanatic said: “I think she’ll go off but eventually come back not to cause trouble but maybe to make amends.

“Hopefully she will find Marlon happy with someone else.

“I’m 100% sure Carly will return, it’s just a case of working out why and when and who she can mess up!”

In the meantime, Gem thinks that her alter ego Carly has made the right move doing a runner.

“As much as Marlon and Carly were great together, Matt is the one who got away,” she says.

“Had they not lost Billy, they would have had the perfect relationship.

“Marlon is such an amazing guy, that he realises it as well. He’s man enough to tell her to follow her heart.”

And while Carly is following her heart, Gemma is keeping busy with her fitness brands, radio show on Key 103 in Manchester and hanging out with her colleagues!

“I’ll miss Mark a lot – we have a lot of laughs on set. Off screen, we hang out when we can and also with Michelle Hardwick and Amy Walsh but I am still staying in the Emmerdale charity band so I’ll see all the girls.

“People like Mike Parr, Joe Gill, Anthony Quinlan, Danny Miller – they all live nearby so we will all be keeping in touch.

“It’s going to be difficult to miss anyone really as they’ll still be doing my head in with WhatsApp groups!”
