Stephanie Waring was beaming with joy as she arrived at her co-star Ross Adams' grand birthday bash. Despite the recent news of her departure from the popular Channel 4 soap, she seemed to be in high spirits, surrounded by her fellow Hollyoaks actors and actresses.
The surprise party, held in Manchester, was attended by a host of stars, including Nikki Sanderson who plays Maxine Minniver, Nadine Mulkerrin who portrays Cleo McQueen, and former Hollyoaks actress Jazmine Franks. Stephanie arrived with her fiancé, Tom Brookes, looking stunning in a beautiful floral-print dress.
The news of her character Cindy's exit from the show was still fresh in everyone's mind. Stephanie had recently revealed that she was one of the 20 cast members who were being let go as part of the show's reduction in episodes. This decision was driven by research that showed a decline in viewership among the show's key demographic, who are now more inclined towards shorter and more easily accessible content.
Stephanie took to Instagram to express her heartache over the news, stating that she had hoped her character would survive the revamp and continue into the new era of the show. She also shared that she was the only original cast member still on the show since its launch in 1996. Her statement was met with an outpour of support from fans, who were devastated to see her go.
At the party, Stephanie was reunited with her former co-star Jazmine Franks, who had also been let go from the show. Nikki Sanderson and Nadine Mulkerrin were also present, showing their support for their fellow cast members.
Ross Adams, who plays Scott Drinkwell on the show, was also a victim of the cast cuts. In an exclusive interview with The Agency, he shared his thoughts on leaving the show after ten years of portraying his beloved character. He expressed that it was going to be extremely difficult to say goodbye to Scott and the Hollyoaks family, whom he considered to be his own.
Despite the news, Ross remained positive and grateful for his time on the show, especially the close-knit relationship he had with the cast and crew. He also mentioned the fun and craziness of playing Scott, including the outrageous outfits and long hours in makeup to transform into his alter-ego, Anita Tinkle.
As the news of the cast cuts continues to shock viewers, The Agency has set up a WhatsApp group to keep fans updated on all the latest spoilers, gossip, and interviews. Fans can join the community and never miss a storyline again. With a heavy heart, we say farewell to Stephanie and Ross, and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
