Annie Wallace criticizes her Hollyoaks co-star, describing him as challenging.

In the latest news, former Hollyoaks star Annie Wallace opened up about her time on the show during an Instagram live. The actress, best known for her role as Sally St. Claire, spent nine years on the popular Channel 4 soap before being let go due to budget cuts. The show recently made the decision to reduce its weekly episodes from five to three, resulting in the departure of about 20 cast members.

Among the notable losses were Annie, along with Stephanie Waring (Cindy Cunningham) and Ellis Hollins (Tom Cunningham), who had been with the show for nearly its entire 30-year history. To explain the sudden absence of these characters, the show will jump ahead one year in time. Unfortunately for fans, this means that Annie's character, Sally, has already made her final appearance.

As the headmistress of Hollyoaks High, Sally was a beloved character on the show. After nine years of portraying her, Annie's final days on set were understandably emotional. In a recent interview, she shared, "The last filming days were really quite intense. My last day was July 31, so I've had a month to decompress – and I have decompressed. I was very upset. There is no lying about it. It's my career and I love the show."

Despite her emotional departure, Annie took the time to connect with her fans through an Instagram live video. During the session, she answered questions about her future plans, favorite moments on the show, and her co-stars. One fan asked about her experience working with David Easter, to which Annie responded with a sigh and a hesitant "errr...". She went on to share, "David could be difficult at times, but I enjoyed working with him because he played such an evil character."

David, who has a long list of soap roles under his belt, played the villainous Mac Nightingale on Hollyoaks for four years. His character, who was initially introduced as the new landlord of The Dog in the Pond, was involved in several high-profile storylines. This included a controversial plot where he paid a sex worker to sleep with his gay son, and later suffering from locked-in syndrome after an explosion at the school.

The latest episode of Hollyoaks also saw the shocking death of Mac, who was poisoned by notorious villain Breda McQueen. The show continues to air on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, with episodes available to stream on Channel 4 and a linear broadcast on E4 12 hours later.
