Speaking recently about his character’s demise, star Danny Walters admitted that keeping the secret was tough.
“It’s been extremely difficult! I feel like I’ve been very deceitful to my friends and my family [laughs] and have made many excuses!” he said.
“But, I wanted the storyline to have as much impact as possible for the audience, so I’ve tried my best to keep everything a secret and hopefully that’s paid off.”
EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
