What is Louise Mitchell’s exit storyline?

Louise's exit will come as her husband-to-be Keanu and Sharon’s secret affair and baby comes exploding out this Christmas.

Phil Mitchell is set to plan his explosive revenge following the reveal, which will see Keanu leaving the Square.

And in a shock twist his fiancee Louise is also set to bow out of the soap in dramatic scenes.

EastEnders fans will know that Louise has almost hit rock bottom in the wake of Mel’s brutal death by lorry.

The mother-to-be is caught in the middle of a war between Sharon and her mum, who thinks Sharon murdered Mel to keep her baby daddy secret hidden.

And things are only going to get worse for the long-suffering fiancee when her waters break earlier than expected, Peggy momentarily stops breathing and she discovers the truth about love rat Keanu.

It’s safe to say it’s not going to be a merry Christmas chez Mitchell, and Louise will be quick to peg it out of the Square as fast as she can.

However, EastEnders haven’t confirmed any details of her exit and fans will have to wait to find out whether she leaves with Keanu or makes a sensible dash to splitsville.

What is Tilly Keeper doing next?

Tilly has played Louise since 2016 and is the fourth actress to take on the role.
