EastEnders have dropped a major clue about Anna Knight’s departure from the show.

It was confirmed during the summer months that Molly Rainford would be bowing out of the BBC One programme following a two-year stint.

A statement released at the time said: “We can confirm that Molly Rainford will be leaving EastEnders later this year, and we wish her all the best for the future.”

Anna’s most memorable plots have featured her drink being spiked, the revelation that she’s Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) daughter, and her romantic entanglement with Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) and Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier).

In Monday’s (October 27) instalment, now streaming on BBC iPlayer, Anna revealed she’s saving every penny for her “trip to Oz”, sparking speculation amongst viewers that this could signal her departure from Albert Square, reports the Daily Star.

Flocking to X, previously Twitter, one viewer wrote: “So Anna’s exit will her emigrating to Australia then in a couple of weeks. I wonder if Freddie will go with her? #EastEnders.”

A second chimed in: “Is Anna dropping a hint to going in to the jungle mentioning her ‘Trip to Oz’? ? #Eastenders.”

Anna’s romantic partner Freddie is also set to depart Albert Square this year, according to official confirmation.

A representative for EastEnders told Metro: “We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.”

Bobby is said to be exploring fresh opportunities after portraying Freddie for four years. In another part of the episode, Zoe Slater’s (Michelle Ryan) shocking revelation that her long-lost son isn’t Dennis Rickman’s (Nigel Harman) was playing on Kat Moon’s (Jessie Wallace) mind as they got ready for quiz night at The Vic, with Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) advising his wife to steer clear.

Kat attempted to have a chat with her daughter but was sidetracked by the search for her missing cat.

Meanwhile, Vicki Fowler had a heart-to-heart with Ian Beale about Zoe’s son and seeing how much it means to Sharon Watts, he transferred her some money to help out.

During the quiz night, Kat overheard Vicki chatting to Ross Marshall and made a decision. Kat’s revelation caused a stir in The Vic as she exposed Zoe’s lie.
