If you use Jquery in your web pages. You could use jquery "show" method to make visible an invisible element. The code would look like this

 $(".popup", 0).jquery.show();

Note : As per documentation, the jQuery integration only works when the pages you are working with include jQuery, Geb does not install it in the page for you.
