host of new arrivals, returns and departures on EastEnders.

After the year 2023 saw major exits including

the death of Keanu Taylor and the prison exit

Reports emerged on 15th April 2024 that Clay Milner Russell would leave EastEnders after five years on the BBC One soap.

The BBC later confirmed the news, who said to The Sun: “We can confirm that Clay will be leaving EastEnders later this year, and we wish him the best for the future.”

The publication went on to explain that the young actor was seeking new challenges away from EastEnders and that he wanted to play different types of roles.

In good news for fans, the door has reportedly been left open for Bobby (and Clay) to return in the future.
