Soap Icon Seeks TV Roles Four Years After Joining Adult Content Platform
Sarah Jayne Dunn has urged television casting teams to consider her for new work. She left Hollyoaks in 2021 after refusing to close her OnlyFans account.
Career history
Dunn first took the role of Mandy Richardson in 1996. She built her profile on the Channel 4 soap over many years.
She is now 44. She has not appeared on screen in more than four years.
OnlyFans and post-soap activities
In 2021 she launched an account on OnlyFans and began teaching pole dancing online. Her posts included revealing imagery.
Production executives reportedly asked her to remove the content. She declined and subsequently left the programme.
Call to return
Dunn wrote on Instagram about a renewed desire to act. She said shifting priorities and time had taken her away from the screen.
The soap icon now seeks TV roles. This comes four years after joining an adult content platform.
She acknowledged that returning as a woman in her 40s requires different confidence. She said age can bring experience and storytelling depth.
She added she has continued auditioning. She remains open to work that fits her life and schedule.
Appeal to casting directors
Her social post directly invited casting professionals and creators to consider her for parts. She asked them to make contact when suitable roles appear.
Dunn has previously said the exit from Hollyoaks was taken out of her hands. She insisted joining the platform was never meant to end her time on the soap.
