The actor, whose character has been a staple of the show for years, was reportedly informed of the decision earlier this week. Insiders suggest the departure was not mutual, with producers opting for a major shake-up to refresh storylines.

Devoted viewers have taken to social media to express their shock, with many calling the decision "a huge mistake." The actor's portrayal has earned critical acclaim over the years, making their departure particularly poignant for long-time fans.
What's Next for Albert Square?
This dramatic exit comes as EastEnders prepares for several major story arcs in the coming months. Producers promise the shake-up will bring fresh energy to the show, though they remain tight-lipped about potential replacements.
