George Rainsford has played Ethan Hardy on BBC One soap Casualty for over nine years, but the actor waved goodbye to the soap earlier this year - leaving fans devastated.
Ethan departed the ED after coming to a realisation that his career was getting in the way of his personal life and his family, and so he packed in his job as a doctor to spend more quality time with his son, Bodhi.
The soap star, 40, has now revealed the reason behind his decision to leave the soap after almost a decade on the small screen.
