Fans believe that Ada Nicodemou is leaving Home And Away after being its part since 2000. Ada Nicodemou has appeared in 2105 episodes of the soap opera.
The Australian actress is widely known as Leah Patterson-Baker in this show. In 1992, Nicodemou auditioned for the role of Sarah Thompson, but Laura Vasquez was cast instead.
The show’s creators later approached Ada about portraying Leah. She was not asked to audition and was given a six-month contract that was quickly extended. Nicodemou is among the show’s longest-serving actors as of 2022.
Ada was only 23 years old when she first starred in “Home and Away.” But recently, there have been rumors about Ada’s future with the soap.
Is Ada Nicodemou Leaving Home And Away?
Many fans believe Ada Nicodemou is leaving Home and Away, but that is not the case. Ada Nicodemou cleared the confusion via a news interview.
Ada has assured her fans that she has no plans to leave the show anytime soon. In an interview with The West Australian, the actress stated that she has great friends and is happy on the show, so there are no immediate plans for her to leave.
She landed a role in Home and Away after her breakout performance on Heartbreak High when she was still a teen. Despite working in the industry for over two decades, the mother of one admitted she still suffers from “imposter syndrome,” which is likely why she isn’t fully committed to acting.
Nicodemou says she returned to study between roles on Heartbreak High and Home And Away, wanting a more “stable” career. She cites the exact reason for her doubts about a job on screen.
On the other hand, Ada’s fans don’t have to worry about her departure because she has stated that she enjoys her work on the show.
