Fans of classic Hollyoaks were delighted when three iconic members of the cast reunited this week.
Ali Bastian, who is pregnant with her first child, was joined by Jodi Albert and Carley Stenson to plan her baby shower on Thursday afternoon.
The trio, who all starred in the Channel 4 soap in the noughties, met up for dinner to talk about the special event.
Carley, famous for playing Steph Cunningham for several stints between 2000 and 2011, looked glam in a navy blue blouse and jeans.
The 37-year-old put a hand on Jodi's arm as the brunette held up a pretty pink blanket that read 'Ali's Babygirl."
Jodi, 36, played Debbie Dean from 2002 until 2005, but returned for cameo appearances later that year and in 2006.
Ali sported a lovely pregnancy glow as she sat at the end of the table while clutching a little grey teddy.
She played Becca Dean, a teacher who had an affair with her pupil, from 2001 until 2007 when the character was killed off.
Ali captioned the post: "Lovely catch up with my girls! @carleystenson1 @jodialbert and @sarahjaynedunn in spirit!
"I am smiling from the centre of my being in this pic. Thank you for making me and bump feel so special.
"We couldn’t have wished for more magical Fairy Godmothers."
She added the hashtags #lifers #18yearsoffriendship.
Ali is expecting her first child with husband David O'Mahony with the couple's due date falling days after their first wedding anniversary.
"It took a while to process it emotionally," she said. "I had been so excited – I'd wrapped up the pregnancy test and put it in the Christmas tree for David.
