Charlie Clements quits 'EastEnders'
Friday, 13 November 2009
Charlie Clements has quit 'EastEnders'.
The 22-year-old actor - who plays unlucky-in-love Bradley Branning - is set to leave the London soap in a dramatic storyline which will conclude in February, for the show's 25 birthday.
He said: "I have been at 'EastEnders' for nearly four years and enjoyed every minute with some fantastic storylines. But I feel that now is the time to take on some new roles."
TV bosses have already promised the red-headed actor will leave the show in one of its most memorable episodes to date.
'EastEnders' boss Dierderick Santer said: "Viewers will miss Charlie hugely and I can promise a big exit. I know he'll go on to great things."
It will be a dramatic few months for the actor.
His character Bradley - the ex-husband of bi-polar market stall holder Stacey Slater, played by Lacey Turner - will emigrate to Canada with new girlfriend Syd.
However, a family crisis will bring the divorcee back to Albert Square where he is forced to confront his feelings for his troubled ex-wife.
Last night, an insider told the Daily Mirror: "It isn't long before he realises he still has feelings for Stacey and doesn't know what to do."
