EastEnders star Shane Richie (Alfie Moon) is quitting the soap, according to a report in The People today.

The newspaper claims that Richie wants to pursue other roles in films and television, as well as starring in major stage musicals.

The actor originally hoped that producers would leave the door open for him to return, however EastEnders chief John Yorke has warned that Richie's soap future may not be so certain, should he decide to leave after his contract expires in November.

A source told the newspaper, "Shane has taken the bold step of walking away from the show to carve an acting career. The reality is he's not coming back.

"As much as he loves Alfie, he is very ambitious. But Shane was hoping to have his cake and eat it. He thought bosses would let him come back when he felt like it. That plan has backfired."

Shane has apparently signed up for two musicals, two Hollywood film appearances, and is also in talks with the BBC and ITV over other television roles.

Phil Dale, Shane's manager, explained, "Shane is sad to be leaving EastEnders, but looks forward to future projects with the BBC and others."

Sounds like a good idsea to me I've gone off Alfie

That would explain the change of heart. I would like Alfie to stay he works well with the other Moons, but I suspected that he would not return. Still I think JY is setting double standards, allowing certain other actors to take time out, then return a year or so later, whenever they want, blank cheques. So what about nana Moon?

could this be why they have suddenly had a change of mind about jake moon staying??? otherwise they have to get rid of nana too??

Exactly Debs. This could very well be the reason, it's been rumoured for sometime about Shane taking time out to go to Hollywood and now that it has happened they need someone to fill the gap, unless the original plan was to get rid of all the Moons. Looks like they are hopefully keeping Jake on to look after Nana plus he has a lot of potential, At the end of the day he is similar in some ways to Alfie only much more "Macho" Alfie can be a right wimp at times..Bless.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!! :eek: ...he cant leave!! we need kat and alfie! :(
