When is Bianca leaving EastEnders?

Filming for soaps usually takes place around six weeks before scenes actually air as a rough guide.

We know that Natalie Cassidy is also set to be leaving the soap this spring, with Bianca’s exit most likely tying in with this.

Going by this logic, whilst no official final scene date has been confirmed by the soap as of yet, it looks like Bianca could be leaving EastEnders in just over a month.

However, given that Bianca has been back a fair few times for several stints over the years, it is possible that the character will return once more in the future.
