After Andy took Ronnie's son Matthew to see his father in hospital, Ronnie finally twigged that he is in fact the adoptive brother of her late daughter Danielle.

What is she going to do with that information?

He's plotted and schemed agaisn't Ronnie since he first appeared in Walford waaaay back in March, but now his time is going to come to a natural end in an explosive storyline.

Andy's character, played by Jack Derges, is leaving the soap to fufill a stage career.

A spokesperson for EastEnders told Radio Times: "The character of Andy was created for a specific storyline which is currently coming to the end. We wish Jack all the best for the future."

An EastEnders insider also added: "When Andy arrived in Walford, viewers didn’t realise that he was hiding a dark secret but over the past few weeks it has become clear that his intentions towards Ronnie and her family are not what they seem.

"Andy was only ever going to be in Walford for this storyline which bosses kept under wraps as they didn’t want to spoil the storyline for the viewers but it’s fair to say there is more drama to come before Andy leaves Walford."

Will Ronnie welcome him into her family? Or will his lies and deceit lead her to do something she may regret?

Are you sad to see Jack leave?
