Its obvious to me that Sam Strike will not be back to play him again, I don't think he was too fussed about the role, So I think a quick recast would be good for the whole family unit to stay strong.
It's not too late to recast because he hasn't been used much.

    No more Recasts and Johnny leaving might do the rest of the carters some good just like the masoods when Shabnham left the first time. Im Hoping in 2015 with stan gone dean johnny and aunt babe gone Nancy and Lee finally get some more attention!

    Jack O'Connell He is 4 years older than Sam Strike but I think he would be good as Johnny.

    Johnny won't be back anytime soon unless Sam Strike has a sudden change of heart which is unlikely. My guess is they will give some much needed focus to Nancy and Lee and then once the Carter numbers start to dwindle in a few years then Johnny will return, with a new head no doubt.

    Jack O'Connelll looks a little like Sam Strike but he is a star on the rise and may not be interested in EastEnders now.

    The new found trend of re-casting characters has become tiresome

    Because of the coming out scene, i think the role will forever be associated with Sam Strike. To replace him so soon would be ridiculous

    Nah, just leave him be. The character doesn't require a recast at this very moment. It's way too soon for that to be happening.

    The Carters will be fine, even without Johnny's presence.

    Not a huge pool to choose from but Bobby Lockwood, Miles Higson, Freddie Fox, Matthew Bailey and Billy Howle would all be decent.

    I don't think it would be right if Johnny was not back in the summer for the birth of his brother/sister and Linda/Mick's wedding

    I hope that they go for a quick recast and a summer return.

    Why the need to recast why not just let the character leave. I doubt the Carters will be around for too many years anyway

    Not an interesting character or actor.
    I really am trying to see what all the fuss is about. Just don't get it.
    Is it because he had a coming out scene ?

    He needs to go away / grow up and come back a developed character. He has served his purpose for now. 18 months / 2 years when storylines are totally different.

    The coming out scene is a big factor in why Johnny is popular with viewers but not the only reason why he is popular. A recent poll showed he was third most popular carter family member just behind Mick and Linda and well ahead of the rest. Not everyone will relate to him but he was for a variety of reasons the most interesting of the Carter kids and had plenty of scope for future storylines so his departure is a blow to the Carter family dynamics.

    Whether EE bosses think that he needs to be part of the Carter family sooner rather than later who knows. We do know that DTC based Johnny's storylines on his life experiences and is special to him so that might indicate he would want the character to continue
