As per The Sun, the decision to axe Sarah was undertaken after the creators were “unable to reach a resolution” with the actress. It was mentioned that showrunners found the questionable online content “at odds” with the young target audience of the show:

"Hollyoaks is a youth-facing drama with many young viewers, who follow our cast very closely, both in the soap and outside of it. We take our responsibility to our young audience very seriously and therefore the show does not allow any Hollyoaks cast members to be active on certain websites.”

However, the production house also shared that they respect Sarah Jayne Dunn’s decision and are “sad” about her departure from the project:

"We had hoped we could reach a resolution with Sarah that would allow her to remain in her role as Mandy, but we respect her choice... In the past four years since her return to the show her legacy character has been an integral part of some our most important storylines and we will be very sad to see her go."
