Emmerdale<\/a> fans have made their feelings known after Lisa Riley<\/a> reunited with former co-star Adele Silva<\/a>. <\/p>\n Lisa, who plays Mandy Dingle<\/a> on the ITV<\/a> soap, took to social media<\/a> to share a selfie with Kelly Windsor<\/a> legend Adele as they enjoyed a catch-up together. <\/p>\n \u2018Gorgeous lunch date and catch up with my dearest friend\u00a0@silvaliningx, she wrote on Instagram, \u2018Friends that make my life richer for all the right reasons.\u2019<\/p>\n Chas Dingle<\/a> legend Lucy Pargeter<\/a> commented, writing: \u2018Double trouble\u2019. <\/p>\n Fans were also quick to add their thoughts and it seems they were all in agreement about one thing \u2013 they want Kelly Windsor back in the Dales. <\/p>\n \u2018we need\u00a0@silvaliningx\u00a0back as Kelly,\u2019 wrote Instagram<\/a> user Brendon_draper1, while annettemontgomery392 added\u00a0\u2018would love to see Adele\u00a0@silvaliningx\u00a0back in Emmerdale.\u2019<\/p>\n clairebeargrylls1 was in agreement, writing that Kelly was \u2018such a fab character\u2019 while dbella1 urged Emmerdale to \u2018Bring Kelly back\u2019.<\/p>\n Lisa addressed the possibility of a Kelly return<\/a> in 2023 when asked who she would like to see back in the eponymous village. <\/p>\n \t\t \u2018\u2018I want Kelly Windsor back. I think it would work because she has a link to Jimmy (Nick Miles),\u2019 she told\u00a0Inside Soap<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018She was Mandy\u2019s best friend, and me and Adele Silva are still really close. I think she\u2019s a great actress and there\u2019s a lot of untold stories there.<\/p>\n \u2018For example, what did Kelly and Mandy get up to when I wasn\u2019t in the show for all those years?\u2019<\/p>\n Adele portrayed Kelly across various stints, initially appearing between 1993 and 2000, and then again between 2005 and 2007. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\tDon’t miss a Soaps scoop!
