EastEnders star Pierre Counihan-Moullier is set to be the latest actor leaving the BBC soap.
The 26-year-old plays Oscar Branning and quickly became one of the show's most popular characters when he joined in 2025.
However, it now looks like Counihan-Moullier will be leaving the soap in 2027, marking the latest in a slew of exits for EastEnders.
Recently, Linda Carter actress Kellie Bright announced she would be leaving, following in the steps of Ravi Gulati star Aaron Thiara and Michelle Ryan's Zoe Slater.
EastEnders star Pierre Counihan-Moullier to leave soap in 2027
Counihan-Moullier joined EastEnders when new boss Ben Wadey took on the BBC soap, after moving over from Channel 4's Hollyoaks.
Although the young actor is reportedly leaving the soap, it is said the door will be left open for his return, as a source told The Sun, "The fans love Pierre, so this is a huge blow to the show.
“It’s also interesting that signing up Pierre has been one of the better things that Ben Wadey has done.
“So the fact that he’s leaving is not a good look.
"Everyone’s now hoping that the rest of the cast will sit tight for a while."
