Another major Hollyoaks exit as TV legend set to leave after one year
The actress, known for her roles in Coronation Street and Benidorm, joined the cast of the Channel 4 soap last year as part of a story that expanded the Blake clan.
Martha was introduced as the long-lost grandmother of show titan Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) and she brought with her a plethora of secrets – namely that son Jez was a twin of former villain Patrick.
Patrick star Jeremy Sheffield returned to the serial to portray Jez, who turned out to be every bit as villainous as his twin brother if not more so, with a subsequent twist confirming him to be a serial killer.
Martha, who has dementia, knows all about Jez's penchant for murder and has covered up for him for decades, making the relationship between the two rather tense.
Jez has thus far claimed the lives of Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith), Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti) and social worker Ian. It was also confirmed that he was also to blame for the demise of Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini).

Martha, meanwhile, has been a part of a number of stories over the past year and has got to know her extended Blake/Savage clan. Earlier this year, she spiked Sienna – twice – in a bid to keep her and Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) apart.
The matriarch has also seemingly disowned Jez, wanting nothing more to do with his murderous ways and next week will see her confusion get worse.
How exactly she leaves the show remains to be seen but a source told The Sun that there will be 'lots of twists and turns' to come.
'Sherrie's loved her time at Hollyoaks as Martha but she was only ever going to be in the show for a limited time,' a source told the publication. More Trending
'Martha's become an iconic character but the end is nigh for her as the show races towards its 30th anniversary later this year.
'There are lots of twists and turns to play out over the coming months but it's definitely going to be an exit to remember.'

Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote is 'still living with husband Kris Evans' despite the couple 'heading for divorce'
Georgia May Foote is reportedly still living with her husband Kris Evans despite their split. The former Coronation Street star, 34, has endured a torrid time of late after a fire ripped through her beauty business last month. And it was revealed on the weekend that she's now heading for a divorce from Kris, who she tied the knot with just two years ago in 2023. Speculation arose about a possible split as Georgia was spotted without her wedding ring on before removing all pictures of the her husband from Instagram. A source later told The Sun that the couple's marriage 'seems to be over' and is 'on the rocks'. But George and Kris are reportedly on good enough terms to still be living under the same roof as they work towards a divorce. A friend of the couple told the publication: 'Georgia has been through a lot recently and it's not surprising that it has put strain on her marriage. 'She told friends that she wanted a fresh start after the terrible fire earlier this year and she's just not sure where Kris fits into that. 'They are still on good enough terms to stay in their home together,' Another source revealed that many of the couple's issues centred around their financial situation. It comes after Georgia, who is best known for playing Katy Armstrong in Corrie for five years from 2010, opened up on the 'nightmare' struggle she's faced trying to find acting work. After her character was brutally killed off in a car crash, the model went onto appear in reality TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Juice, while she had a regular role on American fantasy series The Outpost in the early 2020s. However in a new interview, the beauty revealed work has since dried up with the last few years being 'the quietest time' of her life. She told the Sausage on a Fork podcast: 'I came back in the December of 2020 and I just realised, "Oh my God, there's no work." 'Everything that got stopped filming in the UK then got put on a back burner, and then there was a backlog of what was about to start filming. Then everything behind that took four years to come out, then we had the writers' strikes.' Georgia continued: 'It's just been a nightmare. And that's why this has been the quietest I've ever been in my life. I think a lot of actors around the world will say the exact time.' In addition to her lack of screen work, Georgia was dealt another devastating blow last month when her nail salon burnt down, having started the business to earn extra income amid her struggle to bag acting jobs. Georgia was forced to start a crowdfunding page to raise cash to get her company, as well as other businesses affected, back up and running. She said of the blaze: 'Within two hours the whole building was alight, and the whole thing burnt down. We weren't allowed back in there and nothing has been salvaged. 'Four years' worth of products and stock and everything. We can't get back to work without that stuff. It's thousands of pounds of stuff. You can't just go and buy it. 'I did start a fundraiser to raise some money for these ladies to help us get back on our feet and build our stock back up again that we've lost. 'It's passed the £12,000 mark. I'm really happy. It makes me really emotional to speak about it. I just know it's a lot of women's only income. I'm lucky that I still do my voiceovers and I do have jobs coming in. 'But, at the same time, I lost a lot of money in that fire. But people have lost entire homes worth of stuff that can't be replaced.'
