Mimi Keene has left the show
Her exit was kept under wraps until tonight. Did Mimi quit because DTC always seemed to be a fan of hers. I hope we get some proper confirmation, cannot believe Cindy won't be around for the eventual fallout. Really not happy how the Beales have crumbed like they have.

I cannot believe that she would be axed, especially as Adam speaks so highly of her. No I think this is Mimis decision and fair play to her.

I'm pretty sure Mimi must have decided to leave. DTC was always re-tweeting praise about her and gave her a massive role in the live show.

I think a lot of the young cast are restless and interested to see what else is out there. And why not? The actors who played Sean, Peter and Johnny are all in Hollywood films so they're showing it can be done. I don't think those opportunities were there as much before.

Agreed. She's right to go as early as possible if she wants to get into movies and the like

I think Mimi chose to leave and try out other things as she's only 17 and I doubt DTC would axe her because she's pretty much been central to storylines since her reintroduction in 2013. And there is always a good chance she'll return.

I like Lorna, I just think she's limited to what she can do. Mimi in the other hand has always impressed me, it was just that the writing wasn't there for her initially.

My thoughts go To JB at this difficult time, obviously a period of greiving will be required

DTC however has no regard for the history of the show. appart from killer bob, awful macbeale we only have Ian left

Has it actually been announced she has gone for good then? Until it is, i'm not sure she won't return in a few weeks or months.

I haven't seen the show yet but do we know she's gone for good? Could it not just be a temporary exit? Shame if she's gone

It's a contentious move but I'm interested in it. There have been several plots that didn't feel realistic to me so I don't mind this one. I understand people being wary about it though.

It seems like she's gone alright

An EastEnders spokesperson told Digital Spy: "We can confirm Mimi has left EastEnders. We wish her all the best for the future."

That's my take, there have been a lot of unrealistic plots which have no point at all to them. With Kathy her return is unrealistic but she will have a purpose ie being valves in the Lucy plot, bens sexuality plot and Sharon and Phils trust issues.

Yes, just seen.

A shame as she is a great little actress and an interesting character.
