Ali Bastian, known for her role as Becca Dean in Hollyoaks from 2001 to 2007, recently had a heartwarming reunion with her former co-star Sarah Jayne Dunn. Despite Ali currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, she graciously welcomed Sarah and her mother Dotty to her home in West Cork, Ireland over the weekend.
Ali shared photos of their time together, including a lovely walk in the countryside. She expressed her gratitude to her dear friend Sarah and her mother for their visit, calling it an "absolute amazing lift." Ali also thanked them for their help with her daughters and for adding some magic to her home. She ended her post with a heartfelt message, saying how much she loves them and cannot wait to catch up again soon.
Sarah is best known for her role as Mandy Richardson in Hollyoaks, a character she played from 1996 to 2008, with a brief return in 2010 to 2011 and again from 2017 to 2021. The two actresses played Mandy and Becca on the show and have remained close friends since.
Last September, Ali publicly revealed her breast cancer diagnosis, sharing that she discovered a lump while breastfeeding her baby. She admitted that it was a shock and that she is still processing it. However, she remains strong and positive, reaching the halfway point in her latest cycle of treatment and even celebrating by ringing a bell. Ali also expressed her appreciation for the incredible oncology nursing team at the Dunmanway CUH.
Despite the challenges of chemotherapy, Ali remains hopeful and grateful for the support and kind words she receives from her fans. She encourages others going through a similar journey to know that they are not alone and to keep going, as they will eventually reach the goal posts. She also looks forward to the day when she can raise awareness and funds for the work of the oncology nursing team with a glass of Prosecco in hand.
