I don't think it was suddenly chopped out. It just stopped being relevant.

When June first came around to visit the peeping tom "Dad" character, it was realistic for her to "remember the ads with Parky" as at the time, the adverts featuring Parkinson were quite recent.

As time went on, it was no longer realistic for her to remember the ads with Parky as June herself had become the face of SunLife and it would have been weirdly meta for her to start recalling the company's adverts.

The SunLife story line editor may have also been concerned that a character remembering "the ads with Parky" would conjure up images of Parkinson's Yorkshire Tea adverts that he went on to star in rather than fond memories of his over 50s plan, although I can't remember if they appeared before or after June stopped remembering him and as history tells us, the Yorkshire Tea adverts were not nearly as memorable anyway.
