Anna Passey "cried constantly" during a fake Christmas with her family ahead of spending the festive period in New Zealand.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress is heading abroad for Christmas and new year for the first time ever, and while she cannot wait to see what New Zealand has to offer, she is feeling emotional about being without her family for the festivities.
She said: "This year, I will be in New Zealand for both Christmas and New Year. It’s my first Christmas away from home, so I’ve just had a fake Christmas with my family … but I just cried constantly because I love my family.
"I’m going on an adventure to New Zealand and on New Year’s Eve, I should be in a
camper van by the Franz Josef Glacier.
"So, it should be an exciting new year, but not in the way that Sienna’s is, in a very calm way."
While Anna is set for a festive adventure, her ‘Oaks’ character Sienna Blake is having a family Christmas at home this year with boyfriend Brody Hudson (Adam Woodward) and half-sister Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) – but she admits her character would be "absolutely devastated" if she found out the pair had slept together.
Anna added: "She would be absolutely devastated, because I think this is the first time Sienna has found someone that she really loves, and she really trusts, and I think Brody is such a good guy that she wouldn’t expect this from him.
"She has really placed all her trust in him. She’s never really had too much of a
family, and we love the bond between Sienna and Liberty. I feel like she’s finally settled, and she’s got her family around her.
"I think it would be a double whammy of pain, because it’s her boyfriend but also her sister – it’s everybody she’s got in one swoop, and the baby.
"She’d be losing everything to find that out, I think she would be devastated."
Brody and Liberty hooked up with one another in an attempt to make Liberty pregnant, which was successful, so they could pretend she was carrying Brody and Sienna’s baby as a surrogate.
They decided to take such drastic action after Liberty discovered Sienna’s last remaining embryo was no longer viable, meaning Liberty couldn’t be a surrogate to the pair.
