Major EastEnders Exit Is Confirmed as Popular Star Set to Leave BBC Soap

  • Molly Rainford, who portrays Anna Knight on BBC's EastEnders, debuted on the show in mid-2023 and is scheduled to depart later this year.
  • Her exit came after discussions took place while she explored alternative career paths, with both sides agreeing that it was an appropriate moment for Anna Knight to leave Walford.
  • Anna Knight, introduced to EastEnders in 2023, was involved in a major storyline overhaul that featured her family members, including her sibling Gina and her dad George, as well as key plots such as reconnecting with her long-absent mother, Cindy Beale.
  • Molly gained recognition as a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent when she was 11, was 24 years old in 2023, finished as runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing, and upon announcing her departure, the BBC extended their best wishes for her future plans.
  • Her exit forms part of broader cast changes under new executive producer Ben Wadey, signaling further shifts in EastEnders' storyline and cast composition this year.
