EastEnders confirms Johnny Carter exit as Linda's departure looms

EastEnders has confirmed Charlie Suff will leave his role as Johnny Carter, following the announced exit of Linda Carter actress Kellie Bright earlier this month. Suff has played Johnny since 2024, with a soap spokesperson confirming his departure and wishing him well. Johnny is the son of former pub owners Linda and Mick Carter, with the latter presumed dead since 2022. The exits leave no Carter family members in Walford, marking an end of an era. Storyline details remain under wraps, though Bright teased an "exciting storyline" from producers Kate Oates and Ben Wadey.
