Junade KhanIt looks like the Hollyoaks cast will be suffering a few casualties in the coming months.

Three members of the Roy family are set to leave the soap later this year.

Junade Khan, Anthony Bunsee and Nila Aalia - who play Ash, Gov and Bel Roy respectively - will bow out in a dramatic storyline next month.

The family are torn apart when, Ash violently lashes out at Ravi during a fight, causing his aneurysm to burst and leaving him in a coma.

Unable to handle the rejection from his family, a vengeful Ash blurts out a dark family secret which has long lasting consequences for one of his siblings. Ash is disowned by his relatives and forced out of the area.

Soon after, Bel and Gov make the decision to vacate the village, leaving Ravi (Stephen Uppal), Leila (Lena Kaur) and Anita (Saira Choudhry) behind to fend for themselves.

Other stars due to leave the soap this year include Loui Batley (Sarah Barnes), Zoe Carpenter (Zoë Lister) and Emma Rigby (Hannah Ashworth). But, as we revealed yesterday, a few familiar faces are also set to return.
