Her character was part of some huge storylines, including failed romances with Gilly Roach (Anthony Quinlan) and Calvin Valentine (Ricky Whittle), as well as her relationship with brother Brendan Brady (Emmett J. Scanlan).
After four years in the soap, Bronagh quit in 2013 and left during the same week as her on-screen brother Emmett.
At the time, she said it was a hard decision, telling Digital Spy: “It’s tough because I’ve been in Hollyoaks for four years, so it is like my home.
“It’s given me such incredible opportunities, and I’ve had the chance to tell some amazing stories. Cheryl is so dear to my heart and she’s one of my favourite characters that I’ve played.
“I wouldn’t have stayed with the show for so long if I wasn’t having so much fun.”

TV lovers will also know Bronagh for her role in BBC’s The Fall where she played nurse Sally-Ann Spectohe.
Sally-Ann was the wife of fictional serial killer Paul Spector, who was played by Jamie Dornan.
Other credits include Derry Girls, Dr Who, Supernatural, Unforgotten and Des.
Describing her most recent character in Viewpoint, Bronagh said: “Stella is messy and fiery and feisty and rough round the edges. She cuts corners with her job sometimes. She’s not perfect.”
Is Bronagh Waugh married?
Bronagh is married to husband Richard Peacock, with the pair expecting their first child later this year.
The star announced the happy news with her husband on International Women’s Day in March 2021.
