Why Has Letitia Dean Left Eastenders Again
Soap's Biggest Tease: Why Letitia Dean's EastEnders Exit Has Us in Our Feelings
Let's face it, Letitia Dean leaving EastEnders is about as predictable as Phil Mitchell's next stint in prison. But this time, it's different. This time, we're really saying goodbye. Or are we?
From Queen Vic to the Big Screen
Letitia, who plays the iconic Sharon Mitchell, has been a staple in Albert Square since the '80s. She's seen more drama than a season of Love Island, from her rollercoaster romance with Phil to her secret daughter reveal. But now, she's trading in the Queen Vic for the silver screen.
Dean is set to star in a new film, The Retreat, which is currently in production. The psychological thriller is sure to be a departure from the soapy drama of EastEnders. But fear not, EastEnders fans. This isn't a permanent exit.

In the meantime, we can reminisce about her best moments. Like when she found out about Phil's affair with Kat. Or when she discovered she had a secret daughter with Phil's brother, Grant. Or, you know, any other time Phil did something Phil-like.

- Start a book club. Dive into psychological thrillers to get your fix.
