An EastEnders star is confirmed to be leaving the BBC soap after eight years amidst major changes being made behind the scenes.

Mr Lloyd's first cliffhanger aired on 14 April 2003 and saw Dennis Rickman, Sharon Mitchell's long-lost brother, turned up "out of the blue" at his late mother's funeral.

Producers initially rejected his sample script in 1996, but approached him seven years later to write the cliffhanger moment as Dennis Rickman made his debut.

MICHELLE Ryan has dropped another huge hint that she's returning to EastEnders. The former BBC One serial drama actress hosted an off-screen reunion with one of her prominent former co-stars.

Video that emerged over the weekend appeared to show Mike Amesbury, a Labour party lawmaker, hitting a man in the face and then repeatedly landing more body blows.
