Cheryl Fergison is a well-known actress who captured the hearts of many as Heather Trott on the popular British soap opera EastEnders. However, since her departure from the show in 2012, Cheryl has faced challenges in finding steady work. In a recent interview, the former EastEnders star opened up about her struggles and the reality of life after being part of a long-running show.
Taking to Twitter, Cheryl shared her experiences of trying to navigate the acting industry after leaving EastEnders. She revealed that despite being out of the show for 13 years, finding continuous work has been difficult. While she has managed to secure some jobs, they are often short-term, making it challenging to maintain a stable income. Unlike A-list celebrities like George Clooney, who can demand high salaries for their roles, Cheryl explained that it's not easy to become wealthy in the acting world unless you reach a certain level of fame.
In a 2022 interview with The Agency, Cheryl also discussed the impact of playing a beloved character like Heather Trott. She revealed that even though she has moved on from the show, people still recognize her as Heather and often shout out her character's name in public. Despite her best efforts to separate herself from her on-screen persona, Cheryl admits that it can be challenging for some fans to differentiate between the two.
Since leaving EastEnders, Cheryl has made appearances on various TV shows, including This Morning and Loose Women. However, she acknowledges that it's not easy to find work consistently, especially when compared to the stability of being part of a long-running show like EastEnders. Despite the challenges, Cheryl remains grateful for the opportunities she's had and is determined to continue pursuing her passion for acting.
