Is Amy leaving EastEnders? Ellie Dadd's future on the soap revealed as Amy plans to flee with Craig
Craig has got Amt right where he wants her...
Amy Mitchell’s future in EastEnders is looking increasingly uncertain today after agreeing to leave Walford with her older boyfriend, Craig.
As Craig manipulated her into thinking they had no option but to leave, Amy is oblivious to the fact that he is grooming her and that she is actually in a huge amount of danger.
So is Amy leaving EastEnders? And will she be back?
Craig tricked Amy into taking the blame
Today’s EastEnders saw the fallout of Denzel’s nude photos, which Craig sent to the teenager’s family. Despite receiving the blackmail money, Craig sent the photos intended for Amy’s eyes only to Kim and Howie. As his family reeled in shock, Craig smirked from the bushes, pleased with the chaos he had caused.
However, later, his plan started to fall apart when Amy lashed out at him. She pointed out that Jack wouldn’t let this lie, as it was Denise’s family that he had messed with. Craig realised he could be in huge trouble, even facing jail, and told Amy she would have to confess to sending the photos.
Amy couldn’t believe what he was asking her, but he manipulated her into taking the blame as ‘payback’ for him covering what she did to Joel.
As Amy confessed, Jack lost his temper, telling her he didn’t know who she was any more.
Jack then made Amy go and explain to Denzel, and everyone was stunned by the false confession. Even Kim saw through Amy’s lies, but she remained adamant that she blackmailed Denzel.
EastEnders: Craig and Amy planned to leave Walford
Later, when Amy told Craig that she had taken the blame, he gaslit her further by saying he still needed to leave Walford. Worried that Jack was closing in on him, Craig made plans to flee and convinced Amy to go with him.
However, when he told her he didn’t have any money, she promised to share her £100k trust fund, which she gets when she turns 18.
Suddenly, Craig’s eyes lit up at the mention of the money, and he knew more than ever that he needed to get Amy away from her family so he could continue to control her.
With her family turning on her, and Craig promising her the world, Amy has been well and truly tricked into leaving the Square. And we don’t have long before her departure airs on screen…
