It’s the end of an era in EastEnders <\/a>as the Square is undergoing a number of changes. Clair Norris <\/a>has announced she’ll be leaving her role as Bernie Taylor this week, but Bernie isn’t the only resident who’s confirmed to be leaving Albert Square.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Elaine sparked fears after suffering a heart attack tonight – as she finally agreed to sell the pub with Linda. Last week, many feared the soap had foreshadowed Elaine’s death along with her health struggles<\/a>. However, now fans are certain it will be Felix Baker who meets his fate.<\/p>\n

Writer Daran Little described this week as the “end of an era” as he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter<\/a>: “I\u2019ve written tonight and tomorrow\u2019s #EastEnders<\/a> There\u2019s a lot of Carters\u2026 and the end of an era.”<\/p>\n

It was confirmed earlier this year that Felix would be making his exit from the soap, and tonight Bernie was trying to convince him to leave for Spain with her.<\/p>\n

However, Felix informed Bernie that he wanted to stay behind to move in with his partner, Johnny, when she let him in on a huge secret. She told Felix that Nish wasn’t the one to kill Keanu after all, informing him of Johnny’s mum, Linda, and The Six’s involvement.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t the only secret Felix learnt tonight. He also learnt Bernie had been stealing from Ravi and the Panesars<\/a>, as he urged her to leave before he found out. With Felix being in on the secret, could he now be in danger from Ravi? Fans seem to think so.<\/p>\n

Taking to social media after the episode, one fan wrote: “I think Johnny and Callum might get together tbh. Also, the Bernie stuff.. I think she’ll go missing and Felix will get on the wrong side of Ravi and meet his fate.” Another responded: “Someone has to pay, and if it’s not Bernie, it’ll be Felix!”<\/p>\n

Earlier in the episode, Bernie was seen warning Felix to leave with her, as she warned him: “Get on the plane with me Felix, ‘cos Walford is full of murderers.”<\/p>\n

But how will Felix leave the soap?<\/p>\n

In March, it was revealed that Matthew James Morrison would be leaving the soap this year after three years. Upon joining, Felix, who also had an alter ego – Tara Misu – made history as Albert Square\u2019s first drag queen<\/a> resident.<\/p>\n

Felix brought in whole new storylines with his brother Finlay, played by Ashley Byam<\/a>, and dad Avery, played by Omar Lye-Fook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A BBC<\/a> representative said in a statement shared with the Mirror<\/a> at the time: \u201cWe can confirm that Matthew will be leaving EastEnders<\/a> later in the year. We wish him all the best for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n
