This monumental loss is set to trigger a cascade of emotional storylines that will reshape relationships and alter the dynamics of the community for months to come.
Fans have taken to social media to express their grief and shock, with many praising the young actor's portrayal of the troubled teen. The dramatic boat week episodes have been hailed as some of the most gripping in the soap's recent history, proving that Eastenders still knows how to deliver edge-of-your-seat drama.
As Walford mourns another Rickman tragedy, viewers are left wondering how this devastating loss will impact the residents of Albert Square and what new drama awaits in the aftermath of this heartbreaking confirmation.
