He's made waves since first arriving in Albert Square in 2021 as cheeky charmer Tom 'Rocky' Cotton. Yet, actor Brian Conley, 62, will bow out of EastEnders this Christmas, despite becoming a fan favourite as 'Nasty' Nick Cotton's half-brother.
The comedian remains tight-lipped on whether he will be killed off, or wave goodbye from a black cab, but admits the dream scenario would be for the door to remain open for a possible return.
However, once the filming comes to an end, the Londoner reveals date nights with his beloved wife will take centre-stage, and a wedding vow renewal may even be on the cards. Here, in an exclusive interview with Woman, the silver fox tells us what's next.
