It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,623 User: 12,915	Which would you say has been the worst comeback of a character to a soap that you've seen and why? I would say Kelly Windsor in Emmerdale back in 2011 with the bizarre storyline with Jimmy.

There seemed to be quite a big story about this wasn't there? Am I right?

I'd say the 2003 was possibly even worse! I've only watched Bet Lynch episodes on YouTube as I was too young/wasn't born to have watched her at the time, but even I can tell that the magic of the character was lost when she returned in 2002/3. I could only see her as Julie Goodyear rather than her character. Looking at Digital Spy's list of worst soap returns, I agree with Clare Devine, Clare Bates and Kelly Windsor, with Holly Cunningham and Ben Mitchell just being bad recasts. I actually really liked Tracy's return to Corrie in 2010 and I don't get the fuss over "it's the most exciting arrival in 2000 years" - that's just the sort of dramatic, over-the-top thing that she'd say.

It was meant to be a full comeback but Julie couldn't handle how filming had changed - there was more episodes which meant more to film and less rehearsal time. Plus she didn't get on with some cast members. I don't know why she returned in 2003 but I think that was always meant to be a one-off for a special week of episodes set in Blackpool.

With how prominent Grace became after, it felt like they learned from that mistake and tried to make Grace into what Clare's return should have been.

Ditto Kathy. I can't think of any Neighbours return I haven't liked. They seem to be the best show for bringing characters back.
