Holby City's Guy Henry thinks it's a "strange decision" to cancel the BBC show.
Guy has played hospital boss Henrik Hanssen on the programme for over a decade, but - like all his fellow cast members - will be bidding farewell to his character later this month as Holby airs its final ever episode.
Fans were left reeling after show bosses confirmed Holby City would be ending after 23 years on our screens, with the BBC admitting at the time that it was a really "tough decision" for them to make.
Now, Guy has dubbed the decision peculiar as he apologised to the show's fans for the programme ending.
Asked if he had a final message for the fans of the show, he told Digital Spy: "I'm sorry people have been so upset, which they are. It's a strange decision to cancel the show and I'm sorry for it.
"But thanks for all the kindness and loyalty the fans have shown and the enjoyment they've given us. Thank you very much."
Guy is just one of the stars of the show, with other popular characters including Eli Ebrahimi - played by Davood Ghadami, Sahira Shah - who is played by L aila Rouass - and Dominic Copeland ( David Ames).
However, Henrik actor Guy has promised the show will have a "spectacular" but "shocking" final episode.
"How do you finish 23 years of a weekly story of these people's lives? It will be quite moving and quite shocking. I think it's spectacular in human terms as opposed to special effects and big stunts," he added.
"Holby's always excelled at trying to portray the lives of hard-working people, while it reflects the real world as much as we can. I think the spectacular ending to it comes from all those human relationships and what happens to these real people."
He shared: "It's all to do with the people we've got to know over the last 10, 20 years. And all the better for it."
Guy admits it is "emotional" to be ending the programme after so long in the role.
He explained: "It has all been emotional because we've had to say goodbye to crew as we've gone on, every time that happens it just completely floors us. It's been so emotional. I've worked with these people for about 12 years."
