Hollyoaks star speaks out in fear as Hollyoaks threatens that their colleagues will be fired: ‘We’re all terrified to lose our jobs’
Former Hollyoaks actress Sarah Jayne Dunn has broken her silence on the growing fear among the show’s cast, revealing that many stars are afraid of being axed without warning.
Dunn, who played Mandy Richardson for over 25 years before being fired in 2021, shared her concerns about the uncertainty that looms over the soap’s remaining actors. She was controversially let go after refusing to stop posting on the adult content platform OnlyFans, a decision that sent shockwaves through the Hollyoaks cast and industry.
Now, as rumors swirl about potential cast shake-ups, Dunn has spoken out about the anxiety gripping her former co-stars. “There’s always a fear that your time could be up at any moment. Nobody feels safe, and that pressure is overwhelming,” she admitted.
Recent behind-the-scenes reports have suggested that Hollyoaks producers are planning more major exits, leaving many cast members worried about their job security. While soap operas often refresh their storylines by writing characters out, some actors fear they could be blindsided by abrupt firings.
Dunn expressed sympathy for those still on the show, saying, “I know how much it hurts to be told you’re no longer part of something you love. It’s not just a job—it’s a family, and losing that overnight is heartbreaking.”
Despite her difficult exit, Dunn has since found success outside of Hollyoaks, building her brand through social media and content creation. However, she remains vocal about the industry’s instability and the emotional toll it takes on actors.
As Hollyoaks reportedly prepares for more cast changes, will other stars speak out against the uncertainty? One thing is clear: fear is running high, and nobody feels safe.
