EastEnders Confirms Shock Exit for Female Character

Tilly Keeper who has played Louise Mitchell since 2016 has confirmed that she is leaving the soap after three years.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Tilly said: "I have loved playing Louise Mitchell over these past few years, and I feel honoured to have been part of such an iconic show,"

"Working with our incredible cast and crew has been a joy and I shall miss my EastEnders family greatly."

Executive producer Jon Sen said about Tilly's exit: "Tilly has been an incredible asset to the EastEnders cast and a wonderful company member. Her portrayal of Louise Mitchell over the past years has been a joy to watch. "We wish her well for in all her future endeavours."

Tilly's decision to leave EastEnders has come just weeks after it was revealed that Danny Walters was also leaving over Christmas, but fans have been promised an exciting exit for the young mum.

It's unknown how the pair will leave Walford, but recent spoilers hinted at a dramatic showdown between Ben Mitchell and Keanu Taylor, with the help of Martin Folwer. But sadly it seems Linda Carter gets caught up in the drama.

Whatever happens, it won't be long until we find out as the departures are said to happen over the festive period.

EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One.
