Timothy West is leaving his role as Stan Carter in Eastenders.

The 79-year-old will say goodbye to Albert Square at the end of his current contract, after almost a year of playing Stan.

Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins told the Daily Star Sunday that there are exciting scenes in store as Stan “pulls out all the stops and gives his King Lear” before he leaves Eastenders.
