Proud new mum Chelsee Healey has been absent from Hollyoaks in recent months while she enjoys maternity leave with daughter Coco.
But it won’t be long until we see Goldie McQueen back on screen! Albeit briefly, before she heads off again until the new year. Boo!
Chelsee, 29, has revealed she’ll return to Chester for two episodes at the end of this month 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.”
The last time we saw Goldie was back in July, when she made a dash for freedom after taking the blame for a crime committed by son Prince.
Rather than face a hefty jail sentence, she left Chester.
Talking to Radio Times about her comeback, she 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.
The actress told fans via Instagram at the time: “Had the worst and longest labour which ended up me having to have an Emergency C section!
“You was worth it my baby doll! We love you so much already precious baby.
“Thank you all for beautiful messages, means the world! Can’t thank all my family enough!
“You have been my rocks.”
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.”

It hasn’t all been joyful for Chelsee recently, however.
The star was furious after cruel thieves robbed her in September, swiping two bags from the boot of her car while she was packing for London.
She branded the culprits “pure scum”, saying items taken had included Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags and some of Coco’s clothing.
