Ashley Slanina-Davies – Amy Barnes from Hollyoaks

Many stars treat soap operas as stepping stones to bigger projects. For actress Ashley Slanina-Davies, who played Amy Barnes in Hollyoaks, securing her education first was more important than being a celebrity. Despite being one of the most beautiful faces on the show, she left it to finish her studies in 2012 and returned four years later.

Slanina-Davies, who looked gorgeous the last time she stepped out, permanently left the show and the spotlight in 2017 and revealed years later that she was considering a career in brain research, which was related to the degree she took.
