Danny Dyer goes out with a bang — to the privates — in his final EastEnders scenes
DANNY Dyer goes out with a bang — to the privates — in his final, dramatic EastEnders scenes.
Our exclusive snaps of the BBC soap show the actor’s character, Mick Carter, being kneed in the crotch by angry-looking lover Janine Butcher, played by Charlie Brooks, 41.
Meanwhile, his estranged wife Linda, played by Kellie Bright, 46, looks on concerned.
The action-packed sequence, filmed this week on Deal Beach, in Kent, saw a body-double for Danny jumping off a cliff into the sea, after a car with crash test dummies flew over the edge.
An onlooker said: “The scenes are action-packed with a lot of fighting and shouting.
“It looks to be one of the most dramatic episodes ever. The soap has certainly thrown everything at Danny’s exit and it looks like it’s going to be left open-ended.”

Fan favourite Danny, 45, announced earlier this year that he was quitting the soap after ten years, but said he hoped the door would be left open for a return.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday in May, Danny teased his exit.
He said: “I might be killed off, I might not. I just want to go out in a huge epic way.
“I don’t want to be in the back of a cab. I don’t want a heart attack.

"I want to go out and I want to get people talking about it. So, yeah, it’s gonna be huge.”
Last month, we revealed Charlie was also leaving EastEnders — just 18 months after returning to the role.
The actress, who has played villainous Janine on and off since 1999, told us: “I was only ever due back to EastEnders for a year, but when [executive producer] Chris Clenshaw presented me with his idea for the story, I couldn’t say no to staying a little longer.
“I’ve had an amazing time, as I always do when I go back.”
