Even original characters weren't safe from the chop, with Steph Waring - who made her first appearance as Cindy Cunningham in 1996 - losing her job on the Channel 4 soap.
Now it seems Steph, 47, is ready to spill the beans on life on and off screen as she's announced her debut autobiography.
Sharing the news with fans on Instagram, she said: "It's nearly time…
'My memoir Breaking the Script is coming June 4th.
'This is the story I've never told, until now.'
Steph added: 'Most of you know me for playing Cindy Cunningham in Hollyoaks but in real life I've lived a very different story - one that I haven't told until now.
'It's very raw, unfiltered - very unfiltered - real, honest… the hardest but most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life and I can't wait to share it with you all.'
After finding out she would be leaving the show last year, Steph confessed she was devastated by the news.
She told The Sun: 'In the meeting they read from a script and a tear fell from my eye because I could just feel it in the room.
'They got to the end and said 'And with that, we will be losing Cindy from the show'. I just kept saying 'I don't understand'.
'I collapsed on the floor in tears and begged Hollyoaks bosses not to axe me' reveals 'distraught' Steph Waring as she admits co-stars had to 'pick her up'
'I was very distraught, I didn't take it well - I was probably the most dramatic person they told.
'I just kept telling them 'I'm an original character'. I was clutching at anything - telling them 'but I was the first person to give birth on the show!'
'I could see the distress I was causing them because they were upset that I was so upset.'

The actor and Clair, who met on X (Twitter), have been married for 13 years and share two children together. Clair previously opened up about watching The Inbetweeners when she first met James in 2010. "I knew of the show and what it was but I didn't tune in.

I'm always like, 'You can't say that, mum'. The s*** she comes out with… if they were aired, I wouldn't have a career. I'm going to have to buy a gag off the internet.'
