EastEnders fans were left emotional after two major characters waved goodbye to Albert Square.
Tonight’s episode (March 8) saw Ash Panesar packing her bags after revealing she’d has been re-offered a job in Canada, much to the dismay of her dad Nish.
Suki, who told Nish she was equally as upset at the news, was secretly delighted at her daughter’s decision, wanting to see her spread her wings and get out of Walford.

She then announced that she was going to move away to become their full time nanny.
Taking to social media, fans reacted to the double exit bombshell.
“I’ve got my tissues ready Ash’s exit,” said one viewer.
“Ash reminds me so much of Suki! Yes queen. I’m gonna miss Ash so damn much #Eastenders,” another gushed.
While a third added: “I wish ash didn’t have to leave I can’t believe she is gone in tonight’s episode.”

It was an emotional moment, with Ash making sure she had one final gift for her mum before she moved onto pastures new to start the next chapter of her life.
Viewers were emotional as Ash paved the way for Suki to have more control over the business and a night away with Eve.
Elsewhere, Violet Highway, who arrived in Walford two years ago announced she too is leaving the soap.

After being plagued by mystery phone calls, Violet finally answered and got a shock.
“It was Stuart,” she told Patrick after taking the call.
“He’s got himself a new job you see. And a new phone number. Him and Lorraine are doing really well but they’re struggling a bit with young Roland.
“So they’ve got themselves a live-in nanny. Her name is Violet Highway.”
Patrick was stunned and asked if she was leaving – and Violet confirmed she was.”
I don’t want vi to leave #EastEnders,” said one viewer.
A second penned: “vi is leaving omg i had no idea this is devastating x x.”
