I've just found this (lots of searching happening due to the amount of adrenaline pumping still since last nights episodes lol) and
From The Mirror:
EXCLUSIVE: SPY STAR QUITS BBC FOR BABY
SPOOKS star Nicola Walker has quit the BBC spy series after becoming pregnant.
The actress, who plays MI5 intelligence analyst Ruth Evershed, will leave midway though the fifth series later this year.
A TV insider said: "Nicola's very sad to be leaving but her character has a really dramatic storyline - it's not what you expect."
Ruth is expected to quit MI5 as "a matter of principle".
Nicola lives in north London with actor boyfriend Barnaby Kay, 34. She joined the series, which has 8million viewers, in 2003.
She also starred as DI Susan Taylor in the ITV thriller Touching Evil in the 90's.
Last year, Polish actress Olga Sosnovska, who played Fiona Carter, left Spooks when she discovered she was pregnant.
Its dated 1st June 06, link here (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/showbiz/tm_objectid=17158527%26method=full%26siteid=94762-name_page.html) but it appears true!!
In one of the BBC Press Releases, it says:
But this time he and Harry are set to come to serious blows, with Mace using Harry's burgeoning friendship with MI5 desk officer Ruth Evershed (Nicola Walker) to pressurise Harry into supporting a cover-up operation regarding the torture of suspected terrorists.
Also
There are reports that both Zaf and Jo will be appearing in Series 6, although another report in The Mirror says:
Raza, 32, MI5's Zafar Younis, is expected to be killed off at the end of the fifth series of the BBC spy drama this year.
A source said: "It was decided the character couldn't be taken any further."
Raza, in Spooks since 2004, is the second star to go during the series - Nicola Walker, who plays Ruth Evershed, quit after becoming pregnant.
Last year the Mirror revealed Raza and Miranda Raison, 29, who plays Jo Portman, are lovers.
...but this was dated July 25th (link to story here (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/showbiz/tm_objectid=17441422%26method=full%26siteid=94762-name_page.html)).
Post any other spoilers regarding departing characters in this thread if you like - might be easier to keep them all together :D
