Unlikely EastEnders couple Garry Hobbs and Dawn Swann are being written out of the soap.
The pair, played by Ricky Groves and Kara Tointon, will bow out with a dramatic storyline this summer.
A show insider told the Daily Mirror: "Viewers will have to wait and see if there is a happy ending, or whether they go their separate ways."
Ricky, who has played mechanic Garry for almost 10 years, said: "It has been wonderful playing Garry. But I am looking forward to new things."
Kara added: "It has been the best four years of my life. I will always hold the show dear to my heart and be an avid fan."
EastEnders boss Diederick Santer paid tribute to their "great performances," and said "Ricky and Kara go with our thanks and best wishes."
All that's left for us to do is speculate on how the pair will leave the Square. Will Garry and Dawn skip off happily into the sunset? Not likely.
