MANDY Richardson is returning to Hollyoaks back together with to Luke Morgan.
The businesswoman - who is played by actress Sarah Jayne Dunn in the Channel 4 soap - has reunited with her ex-boyfriend for their joint return to the village.
Speaking about her return to the village, Sarah revealed how she didn't find out Gary Lucy was back until she got her first scripts.
"I actually didn't know that to begin with," she said on This Morning.
"I got one of my first scripts and it was Mandy and Luke. So yeah the two of us back together."
Asked about how together the former couple are, Sarah confirmed they are back together as a couple but they are not exactly love's young dream.
"They are back together, I can tell you that," she said.
"They are a couple. Mandy and Luke return together and obviously six years is a long time and Luke's been gone for 15 years so there's a lot."
Sarah revealed how Mandy has struggled in her time away and her life has changed and she is in need of old friends to help.
She said: "Mandy's fallen on harder times, and she's going through a bit of a tough time.
