Actor Ricky Champ, known for his role as Stuart Highway on the soap EastEnders, has caused concern among fans after recently announcing his departure from Twitter. The 44-year-old, who was a regular on the social media platform, surprised everyone with his decision to delete his account and leave Twitter for good. In his post, he reassured fans that they can still keep in touch with him through Instagram if they wish.
Fans were taken aback by this sudden announcement, with many expressing their sadness over Ricky's departure. One fan, @brendonpurcell, wrote, "Will miss you fella," while another, @naomiormond1, commented, "Oh no, I hope you're doing well. See you on Instagram :)". It seems that no one saw this coming, making it even more surprising.
Last year, Ricky left the BBC One soap shortly after his on-screen wife, Tanya Franks, who played Rainie. Their characters, Stuart and Rainie, had a tumultuous relationship, but towards the end, they reunited and left Walford together. Their emotional final scenes were unforgettable as they rode off in a hearse borrowed from Jay, saying goodbye to their loved ones.
In his last storyline, Stuart faced postnatal depression and breast cancer, making it a challenging time for him and Rainie. However, they were able to overcome these struggles and decided to start fresh outside of Walford. When asked about the possibility of his character's return, Ricky shared, "The door is open, and that was a discussion we had when we decided it was time for Stuart to leave. He's not dead, so who knows what the future holds, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon."
In a previous interview, Ricky also mentioned the potential for his character to return to EastEnders, even though it seemed like he was leaving the soap world for good. He revealed that Stuart is currently living with Rainie somewhere on the North Circular and that anything is possible in the future. Fans will just have to wait and see if Stuart will make a comeback to the show.
