EastEnders actor Harry Farr, who plays Ollie Carter on the show. is leaving Albert Square following a nine-year stint on the BBC soap.
Joining the cast in 2017, he played the son of Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) and Linda (Kellie Bright).
According to The Sun, he has wrapped up his final scenes, which are expected to air in the coming weeks to match the exits of his mother on screen and brother Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff).
Writing on Instagram, his mother Laura shared: "And that’s a wrap!
"Emotional ending after such a long time for him, but wow what an amazing experience (with some of the nicest people) he’s had."
The trio are not the only performers departing Albert Square, with Pierre Counihan-Moullier (Oscar Branning) and Sophie Khan Levy (Priya Nandra-Hart) also saying goodbye to the serial.
Back in August, 50-year-old Kellie revealed that she will leave in 2027 as part of a farewell plot line she described as "exciting".
Her mother on screen, Harriet Thorpe (Elaine Peacock), called the actor's departure a "loss".
When asked by BANG Showbiz during the 2026 Best Heroes Awards, sponsored by DFS, Harriet, 69, reflected on Kellie's impending exit.
She said: "Of course it is. And people who have been involved in identifying with all her journeys, of course, it's going to be a loss with the family.
"But again, that's part of soap story. And throughout history we've been telling these stories."
Linda first featured on Albert Square in 2013 when she and Mick took over management of the Queen Victoria pub, remaining central to key storylines ever since.
Her character endured a sexual assault by brother-in-law Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), a long struggle with alcoholism, and was identified as the killer of Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) in “The Six” storyline over Christmas 2023.
Kellie recently expressed gratitude to fans for their support, having shared in August that her "tough decision" to step away from the soap was made "over a year ago".
Addressing viewers via Instagram video on 1 September, she remarked: "Shall we talk about the elephant in the room? Or should I say, flamingo?
"I just wanted to do a little thank you message to everyone that sent some love to Linda’s way when you heard about the announcement of me leaving.
"It really means so much, and I just wanted to acknowledge it and say thank you for your lovely comments and messages.
"Linda hearts you back. Flamingos forever."
Speaking in August, Kellie, who has three sons Freddie, 15, Gene, nine, and Rudy, five, with husband Paul Stocker, stated: "I have absolutely loved being part of the show, but I have decided that it is now the right time for me to say goodbye.
"I made the tough decision over a year ago, but agreed to extend my stay because of an exciting storyline. I will miss my friends and colleagues hugely, but I am looking forward to my next chapter and spending more time with my wonderful boys."
EastEnders executive producer Ben Wadey has promised viewers "unmissable drama" surrounding Linda's departure.
He stated: "Kellie's characterisation of the fiercely lovable, protective and brilliant Linda Carter has made her a favourite among viewers. Everyone at EastEnders will miss Kellie and Linda dearly.
"We've still got a way to go before we say goodbye, but I can promise that Kellie's exit storyline will be full of unmissable drama."
Reports indicate Linda will not be written out permanently through death, as production staff hope she might return in the future.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: "Kellie feels it is time to see what is on the outside.
"But everyone will be hoping Linda will return one day. It's believed the door is being left open."
The insider added it remains "very unlikely" Danny will reprising his role as Mick for the storyline, after his character was lost at sea on Christmas Day 2022.
The source observed: "The perfect ending for fans would be for Mick to be alive and come to rescue her - but that's very unlikely."
Meanwhile, Charlie expressed feeling "gutted" over his departure.
Speaking to Radio Times last month, he remarked: "It’s gutting. I absolutely love being a part of the show. I love everyone in it. I love the crew. I love the team. It’s been an amazing thing to be part of."
Before their exits, he and Kellie shared recent scenes alongside former co-stars Danny Hatchard (Lee Carter) and Maddy Hill (Nancy Carter).
