Actor Charlie Suff has opened up about his character Johnny Carter’s exit from EastEnders, while also teasing “big autumn drama”.
It was confirmed last month that the star, who is the third actor to play Johnny after Sam Strike and Ted Reilly, would be departing from the BBC One soap in the coming months.
Speaking to Radio Times at The National Television Awards 2026, Carter said of his departure: "It’s gutting. I absolutely love being a part of the show. I love everyone in it. I love the crew. I love the team. It's been an amazing thing to be part of."
He continued: "But I've had an amazing few years, and what an honour to go out with the Carters."
Speaking further about what fans can expect, Suff added of the Carters: "There's a lot in store for the guys. It's very dramatic. It's all part of the big autumn drama, and yeah, there's lots in store for the guys."
Stuff made his first appearance as Johnny on the show back in 2024, arriving on the Square to help his struggling mother and alcoholic Linda (Kellie Bright).
As well as helping Linda battle her demons, the character has featured in other dramatic storylines, including becoming embroiled in the murder of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) and falling head over heels for Callum Highway (Tony Clay).
Does heartache await Johnny ahead of his exit and an inevitable split with Callum? Or could Callum go with him?
Time will tell...
