Lisa clashed with Louise's (played by Tilly Keeper) father Phil Mitchell (Steven McFadden) over how to handle the situation.
But the soap star has revealed her reunion with her co-star and former boyfriend was very different off-screen.
Speaking on Loose Women today about working with her ex again, she explained: "It was strange really but within 10 minutes it was like I'd never been away.
"It was like having old mates back and I knew they would look after me on my return."

The actress also teased fans of the long-running BBC soap about what they can expect from tonight's double bill.
"There's two episodes and Phil is on the rampage looking for Lisa," she revealed.
