'Enders Sean to make Christmas exit

EastEnders actor Rob Kazinsky will make his exit from the BBC soap this Christmas when his character 'goes off the rails', according to reports.

The 24-year-old, who plays Walford bad boy Sean Slater, apparently loses the plot when he discovers that he may not be the biological father of his wife Roxy Slater's (Rita Simons) baby.

In a series of dramatic scenes that are due to air around Christmas, Sean allegedly kidnaps the baby and plummets into a frozen lake.

An EastEnders source told The Sun: "Will Sean live or die? And what will happen to Roxy’s baby? Viewers are going to be hooked - and we're not going to disappoint."

A show spokeswoman said of the plot: "We don’t comment on storylines."

At the beginning of the year, it was announced that Kazinsky was to quit the East-End soap in order to pursue other projects.

Despite Sean's departure, winter sees the return of Charlie Brooks as super-bitch Janine Butcher along with Walford legend John Altman as Nick Cotton.
