Actress Ada Nicodemou has become synonymous with her iconic Home And Away character, Leah Patterson.
Having appeared on the soap since 2000, it’s hard to imagine the show without her. And yet, that might become the case with the actress revealing she’s unsure about her future career path.

Appearing on Mamamia’s No Filter podcast, the 44-year-old revealed she’s unsure if she wants to continue acting.
“I still don’t know whether I want to act. I always go, ‘I’m acting at the moment’,” Ada said.
“I don’t know whether it’s something I’ll continue to do.”
After her breakout role on Heartbreak High when Ada was just a teen herself, she landed a role on Home And Away. Despite over two decades in the industry the mother of one revealed she still suffers from “imposter syndrome”, which is likely the reason she’s not completely committed to acting.
“I just feel like it’s something that I’ve done naturally, but I haven’t trained for it, and someone’s going to realise that I’m not that great.”
Between her stints on Heartbreak High and Home And Away, Ada says she went back to study, wanting a more “stable” career. She cites that same reason for her uncertainty over a future on screen.
Fear not Summer bay fans, Ada also revealed she’s just renewed her contract with the show, so she’s not going anywhere any time soon.
If the show were to end (heaven forbid) Ada’s unsure if she would go on to find work on another series.
“I love television, and I love stability. And it’s afforded me a great life. It’s meant that I have been here, in this country, and at home as much as I can with Johnas,” she said.
“I just think, for me, it’d be too hard hustling all the time for different roles and being out of work. And I don’t love acting that much; I love working.”
