In recent months, EastEnders has seen the departures of Walford legends Martin Fowler, Bianca Jackson and Sonia Fowler. And they won’t be alone either, following the news that Stacey Slater, Anna Knight and Freddie Slater are also set to go later this year.
But never fear – there are also a host of old faces expected to return to the soap. And, with newcomers Ross and Joel Marshall already making waves in Walford, the Square remains as drama-packed as ever.
Here’s a round up of who is leaving, returning and joining the cast of EastEnders this year.
Who’s leaving EastEnders?
Anna Knight
Actress Molly Rainford is reportedly set to leave the soap after two years of playing George and Cindy’s (other) daughter, Anna Knight.
Anna first joined the soap with George, Elaine and Gina in 2023. Since then, she’s has had a few storylines of her own – most notably when someone spiked her last year. However, she’s fallen off the radar in recent months.
