EastEnders fans left raging as exit 'confirmed' for character during heartbreaking episode

During last night's episode of EastEnders, the soap appeared to reveal that one character is leaving and fans were not happy about it.

In scenes one character was told that he would have to leave his home within 24 hours, or he and his brother would face danger. However, fans weren't happy about the scenes particularly given the "importance" of the episode in which the scene aired - Lola's funeral.

Finlay Baker was told to leave Walford for good following his run-in with the Panesar family escalated, writes The Mirror.

When he tried to defend himself, two characters warned him with a death threat against his brother Felix if he didn't leave.

Prior to the episode, it hadn't been confirmed if the character would be leaving - it could well be that the character is bowing out of the soap for good following the latest scenes.

EastEnders has not confirmed the departure, and viewers will have to tune in on Wednesday to find out if he leaves or stays - while there are also no spoilers regarding the twist for the next episodes.

Fans weren't happy that the storyline aired during the funeral episode for Lola Pearce, as Walford gathered to say goodbye to the tragic character, who sadly passed away from a brain tumour.

Viewers said that the exit hints and the scenes "ruined" the heartbreaking episode, while others were annoyed over the possible departure.

And many fans flocked to social media to talk about the episode,. one wrote: "This spoilt what was really important in tonight episode."

Another fan agreed: "Shame such a beautiful episode was spoilt by including this pathetic storyline!" as a third wrote: "You literally ruined tonight's episode with this b******s."

One viewer added: "Nah Suki is a b***h!!! Ravi disgusts me, forcing Finlay out of the square by threading to kill his brother."

While one penned: "It seems as if Finlay may be off soon. It could be a break, but somehow, I'm guessing they're writing him out, after doing almost nothing with his character."

Another added: "Who the hell does Suki think she is, Finlay's exit at hands of the mafia down an alleyway," as a fourth said: "We all knew this was an exit for him," with a sad face emoji.

Meanwhile, one viewer said: "I'm hoping that Finlay isn't leaving and that this will be the beginning of a storyline for him and Felix."

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
