Maddy Hill has departed her role as Nancy Carter in EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The unannounced exit occurred in tonight\u2019s instalment (Thursday 23rd June 2022), as Nancy left Walford in the wake of a tough week.<\/p>\n

In recent episodes, Nancy learned that her boyfriend Zack Hudson (James Farrar) had cheated on her<\/a> with Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf) after a series of rows. As Zack desperately tried to keep his relationship intact, a heartbroken Nancy was left stunned when he proposed.<\/p>\n

As she considered forgiving him, Nancy ended up visiting mum Linda (Kellie Bright) after she was discharged from the hospital following the car crash<\/a>. The mother and daughter shared a much-needed heart-to-heart, but when Nancy found a bottle of vodka,<\/a> the moment was ruined.<\/p>\n

Telling Linda she couldn\u2019t trust her, Nancy knew the same could be said about Zack, and she officially ended things between them.<\/p>\n

In a twist, Nancy then revealed she was leaving for good. Linda attempted to persuade her to stay and was shocked when she realised that Nancy planned to take baby Annie with her. Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) manipulated the situation, leading Nancy to take Annie back to Linda.<\/p>\n

But Nancy\u2019s mind was made up as far as her own departure was concerned, and after an emotional farewell with the rest of the clan, Nancy departed the Square as Linda watched on.<\/p>\n

So with characters known to take a screen break before heading back home, will Nancy be back? RadioTimes.com<\/a> has all the answers\u2026<\/p>

Has Nancy Carter left EastEnders for good?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sadly, it\u2019s been confirmed to RadioTimes.com<\/strong> that this was indeed Maddy Hill\u2019s final appearance as Nancy Carter, so she won\u2019t be coming back any time soon!<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s every chance she might be back at some point in the future, this is indeed a genuine exit for Ms Carter.<\/p>\n

Regarding Maddy Hill\u2019s exit, an EastEnders spokesperson told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cWe wish Maddy all the very best for the future\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking about her departure, Maddy Hill herself commented: \u201cIt\u2019s been great revisiting Nancy and the Square over the past year but it felt like the right time to move on for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI already miss everyone and feel so grateful to work with people I have so much love for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, fans will recall that this isn\u2019t the first time that actress Maddy Hill has exited the BBC soap.<\/p>\n
