Hollyoaks viewers last saw Goldie McQueen way back in July, when she made a dash for freedom after taking the blame for a crime she didn’t commit.
But actress Chelsee Healey, 29, has now excited fans by hinting she’s about to make her soap comeback!
Chelsee has been on maternity leave from the Channel 4 show following the birth of daughter Coco, but posted a photo to Instagram overnight showing her flipping through a new script.
While she didn’t specify the script was for Hollyoaks, that’s what her fans presumed!

Sitting on a sofa clutching little Coco, the star captioned the snap: “Scripts have arrived! Coco reading what mamma is doing next!
“I can’t lie, I’m dreading leaving her.”
Fans, however, admitted they were more than ready for Chelsee to return to Hollyoaks!
One wrote: “Yahooooooo, back to ‘Oaks. This is the best news. You’ve been missed and them boys of yours need you badly.”
Another said: “You’re coming back to Hollyoaks soon? Omg yesssss.”
A third added: “Is that your Hollyoaks script? If it is, when you coming back? I’ve missed you! Can’t wait for you to come back.”
And a fourth wrote: “Ahh cannot wait to see you back in Hollyoaks.”
Chelsee revealed last month that she’s due to film two episodes before the end of the year, before resuming full-time work on the soap in January.
Speaking to The Mirror, the actress said: “They’re easing me back in.
“I keep messaging my agent to find out scripts, but I’m hoping Goldie can come back with dark hair, because I can’t be [bleep] with that red wig.
“I keep saying to [executive producer] Bryan [Kirkwood] because she’s been on the run, she needs a bit of a change.”
Rather than face a hefty jail sentence, Goldie chose to leave Chester in July.
Talking to Radio Times about her comeback, Chelsee said: “I’m already missing it a lot.
“But I can’t wait to get back, hopefully with a storyline I can really get my teeth into that shows another side of Goldie. Something hard-hitting.”
While Goldie has been off-screen, Chelsee has been more than busy!
She gave birth to her first child, daughter Coco, on July 13 after a difficult labour.
Baby Coco’s dad is Chelsee’s on-off boyfriend Jack Molloy.
They endured a brief split last year after she reportedly found it difficult to cope when Jack was sent to jail for driving offences.
In February, the brunette actress told OK! Magazine that the child hadn’t been planned, but she and Jack couldn’t be happier about starting a family.

“When I saw the test was positive, I started crying. But they were happy tears,” she said.
“It wasn’t something we’d planned, but now we are having a baby we couldn’t be happier.”
