‘Home and Away’ Star Shocked to Learn She Might Carry Incurable Genetic Disease from Late Mother – But She Doesn’t Want to Know the Truth!
When her mother passed away, Home and Away star Jessica Redmayne was not only faced with heartbreaking loss—but also with a chilling question: Could she be carrying an incurable genetic disease?
This wasn’t a dramatic plotline from the screen. In real life, Jessica was forced to confront a terrifying reality that anyone would dread: If you were at risk of a terminal illness, would you want to know the truth?
This haunting fear began after her mother’s death, who had been diagnosed with a serious hereditary condition. That meant Jessica could very well be a candidate for the same illness—even though she’s currently in perfect health.
“I’m not sure I want to know the results, because it could haunt me for the rest of my life,” Jessica shared in an emotional interview. “There are some things that, once you know, you can never un-know. You lose your peace of mind forever.”
Choosing not to get tested is a decision full of inner turmoil. For many, knowing means being able to prepare. But for Jessica, the truth might be so frightening that it simply isn’t worth knowing.
In an era where genetic testing is more accessible than ever, Jessica’s story raises a profound question for all of us: Is knowledge always power? Or, sometimes, is ignorance actually a form of salvation?
She admits that she still hasn’t made a final decision. “I try to live each day with hope and gratitude,” she said. “Maybe one day I’ll be ready to know… but today is not that day.”
Jessica’s story is more than personal pain—it’s a chilling reminder that some truths have the power to change your entire life… with just one test.
