Of the more major horror series ('Scream' excluded), the female lead in the original picture did not appear in all of the sequels, but later made a big return to the series after a lengthy absence, reprising the same (or similar) character. Which one would you pick (if you had to pick one) as being the best return?
Jamie Lee Curtis ('Halloween: H2O', 'Halloween: Resurrection'

, reprising the Laurie Strode role after 17 years away.
Heather Langenkamp ('Wes Craven's New Nightmare'

, playing herself after seven years away, and ten years since the original.
Ashley Laurence ('Hellrasier: Hellseeker'

, portraying Kirsty Cotton in 2002 after her last cameo appearence back in 1992's 'Hellraiser III' and starring in the first two films.
Any others?
