There will soon be one less Carter in Walford, as it’s been announced that Sam Strike is set to leave the role of Johnny behind.
Sam joined EastEnders last Christmas, alongside sis Nancy (Maddy Hill) and parents Mick (Danny Dyer) and Linda (Kellie Bright).
At the moment we’re keeping details of Johnny Carter’s exit under wraps, but Sam has already finished filming his final scenes.
“Thanks for all the love this year guys,” Sam announced on Twitter earlier. “Means the world. Decided to bow out. Couldn't have done it without you all. Thanks.”
Powerful scenes earlier in the year in which Johnny came out as being gay his dad bagged Sam the Media Recognition award at October’s Attitude Awards.
We wish Sam all the best for the future.
