While she still has a few more weeks of filming to go she told how this week she had to say goodbye to some of the crew that she has worked with for the last 16 years
She said: 'In the meeting they read from a script and a tear fell from my eye because I could just feel it in the room. While she admitted she would never have left on her own accord, she is excited for the future and eager to jump straight into something new. 'I am heartbroken to announce that my character of Cindy has been included in the actors reduction of Hollyoaks.
'I will relish every last scene I have left to play with the gift of a role that is Cindy Cunningham. I don't know how or why she exits yet but I have been assured I'm not being killed off, which I'm thankful for as in soap land anything can happen so I'd like to think we'll see her again but who knows.
The episode reduction will begin in September, and sources claim cast and crew are 'heartbroken' by the cuts. The Sun reported that script writers have come up with a bizarre plan to 'time jump' the programme by a year, which will fast-forward 20 characters out of the soap permanently.
