EastEnders sends fans into panic with bleak ‘goodbye Mick’ post from the top of a cliff

EASTENDERS fans are not prepared for Mick Carter's last Christmas after BBC soap teases clifftop drama.

The details about Mick's final dramatic EastEnders moments have been revealed after teaser trailer shows Mick on the side of the cliff.

The tweet featured very stormy weather with thunder and lightning crashing and added the hashtag #GoodbyeMick.

But fans are not prepared to say goodbye to the cockney star.

Taking to Twitter, one said: "Actually not ready for this!"

Another wrote: "Gonna miss Mick so so much."

A third penned: "So sad that Mick is going just hope he learns the truth."

This year's festive storyline sees Shirley discover Janine's duplicitous actions and tries to expose her over Christmas dinner.

As Scarlett enters and adds to her case, this leads to Mick demanding the truth, but Janine escapes in a car.

Mick and Linda follow her, leading to the teased clifftop scenes which can't end well for the trio.

Both Danny and Janine star Charlie Brooks is set to depart the soap.

In tense scenes, Mick throws himself off a cliff and into the sea after a car carrying estranged wife Linda and lover Janine flies over.

Soap bosses pulled out all the stops for the major stunt, driving a car with crash dummies dressed as Linda and Janine over a cliff.

An EastEnders insider said: “Bosses are staying tight lipped about the exact nature of Danny’s exit but there’s no way his character would go out without a bang. 

“Exact details are being kept top secret but the show is pulling out all the stops to make it an explosive ending, which will no doubt leave the residents of Walford reeling.”

Talking exclusively to The Sun in June, Danny revealed there will be no way back for Queen Vic landlord Mick and wants to make a memorable exit.

“It’s huge and it’s going to upset a few people,” he said.

“I will miss everyone but I want to go out proper. I came in proper and I want to go out proper.

“I want to go out in a way that’s going to get people talking.

“It’s a thing that needs to be discussed more openly and I think it’s going to shock a few people.

“I’ve done ten years, over 1,000 episodes, and it’s time to move on from it.

"I just want the right ending. I don’t want to jump in the back of a cab!”
