Hollyoaks star Nicole Barber-Lane reveals why she had ‘big anxieties’ over returning to the soap

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Barber-Lane suffered from anxiety upon returning to ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 53-year-old actress played Myra McQueen in the Channel 4 soap opera from 2006 until 2019 and returned to screens in scenes aired earlier this month but admitted that she had been left in a “delicate place” since the COVID-19 pandemic struggled with the idea of coming back because of the insecurity of the job.
She told Metro.co.uk: “I did actually have very very big anxieties about coming back here. Being here, you don’t ever know when it’s ending so you don’t have any control of your life, type of thing.
“I have had a lot of anxious issues and going through the menopause, that highlighted stuff.
“So I have been in a very delicate place since COVID and had a lot of personal changes. I couldn’t afford to stay in the house that I’d lived in for a long time when COVID hit because I was actually doing touring theatre – and then nothing.”
The soap star – who was married to ‘Emmerdale’ actor Liam Fox from 1999 until 2015 and has son Ben, 24, with him – has made guest appearances on ‘Doctors’ and ‘Coronation Street’ since her time on ‘Hollyoaks’ but was working in the theatre at the onset of the pandemic and had to eventually sell her house because the show was continually postponed.
She said: “As you know, the theatre took a big hit with Covid, so that kept getting postponed when I was supposed to be going back. So, in the end I did have to give up the family home and move into somewhere smaller. So it’s been massive changes for me.”
