OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Dyer “might be killed off” in ‘EastEnders.’
The 44-year-old actor has starred as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on the BBC One soap opera for almost a decade but quit the show back in 2021 and claimed that whatever happens he wants his exit to be “huge” and “epic.”
He said: “There’s been a discussion about what we’re gonna do. I might be killed off, I might not, I just want to go out in a huge, epic way. I don’t want to be in the back of a cab.”
The ‘Mean Machine’ star – who also hosts podcast ‘Sorted with the Dyers’ with eldest daughter and ‘Love Island’ winner Dani, 25, – went on to explain that he wants to stage an exit for Mick that will “get people talking” and joked that he might steal a prop from the Queen Vic set as a keepsake.
He told The Sun: “I don’t want a heart attack because of high cholesterol. I want to go out and I want to get people talking about it. So, yeah, it’s gonna be huge. I might nick a stool out of the Vic. I have already got a stool up in my dressing room. I’ll get the cast to sign it and I’ll take it. It’s such an iconic job and I’ve loved every second of it. It’s been amazing. It’s been nearly ten years though, you know?”
Danny – who is married to Joanne Mas and has also has Sunnie, 25, and eight-year-old Artie with her – added that while he will be “very sad” to leave the show, it is time to “move on” and is hoping for a Christmastime exist.
He said: “It’s time to move on now. I’ll be very sad. I will be. It’s an emotional thing, you become very attached. But it’s time to roll the dice.
Maybe it’ll come out at Christmas. When they get it right there ain’t no better show on the television.”
