EastEnders star Toby Alexander-Smith could be set to join his girlfriend Amy Walsh in rival ITV soap Emmerdale.
The 31-year-old actor’s final scenes as serial killer Gray Atkins played out on Thursday night.
Fans of the BBC soap watched Gray’s reign of terror finally come to an end as he got arrested following a dramatic showdown with Whitney Dean (Shona McCarty).
Toby has become a soap icon since he made his EastEnders debut back in March 2019.
However, he may pop up in another popular serial drama in the near future.

According to Embryo, Toby could earn up to £2,000 per episode he stars in as statistics from ITV reveal that actors get paid betweem £400 and £2,000 per episode.
So, if he stars in the show five times a week he could earn up to £10,000 a week.
If he signs a 12-month contract, he could get a whooping £520,000 per year.

Jo Threlfall, Head of Digital PR at Embryo told Daily Star: “Toby Alexander-Smith’s career has grown massively since his debut on Eastenders and since his dramatic departure from the soap, it has opened a window for the actor to be able to explore other options in his acting career.
“Whether that’s theatre or casting for Netflix and films Toby isn’t short for opportunities.
“Rumours have revealed that the soap star could appear alongside his partner Amy if so, he could potentially earn over £500,000 a year!”

Toby wouldn’t be the first major soap character to pop up in another soap.
The likes of Clare King, Jamie Lomas and Michelle Collins have all appeared in more than one of the UK’s being serial dramas.
Toby could also decide to show off the real him by trying his hand at some reality television.
Jo added: “On the other hand if he looking to explore influencing or reality TV shows like I’m A Celeb, he could earn over £1,000 per social post or up to 100K for his jungle appearance.”
Stats reveal that celebrities can get up to £500,000 for their appearance on gruelling IITV reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Fans will have to wait and see what Toby decides to do next.
