Soaps
Joel Beckett
The actor, who plays Jake Moon, will leave the soap as part of an explosive storyline later this year - however the door will be left open for a return in the future.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in the show," Beckett told the Sunday Mirror. "It's been a great experience, one which I'll never forget. However, I now feel that it is the right time to move on and further my career."
"Joel has been a great asset to the show," executive producer Kate Harwood added. "We are planning an explosive exit for his character and we wish him the best of luck for the future."
