EastEnders fans in shock as character makes sudden exit from Walford – and they are gone for good
EASTENDERS fans are in shock after another character made a shock exit from the Square.
The BBC soap said goodbye to teen mother Jada Lennox in tonight’s episode after Janine Butcher manipulated her.
Viewers watched this week as Jada fell for Janine’s lies and set up Linda Carter to lose her daughter Annie to social services.
She hid empty bottles of booze around the house before calling the authorities with concerns about baby Annie.
Linda was devastated as social worker swooped and took Annie away while they investigated.
She suspected Janine was behind it – but tonight Sharon worked out that Jada was the real culprit.

And while she guessed that Janine put her up to it – Jada insisted she didn’t.
But realising the vile thing she had done, she decided to confess to the police – and return Janine’s bribery money.
However before she had the chance to walk into the station, Janine got to her and put doubts in her mind.
Janine convinced Jada that if she confessed she would be thrown out by Sharon, her daughter would be taken from her and she would lose everything.

Utterly terrified, Jada ran home to pack up and fled with baby Alyssa.
Meanwhile Sharon told Linda that it was Jada who reported her – but that she was going to confess and everything would be fine.
But when they got home they found the house empty, and Zack told them that Jada had run away leaving them – and fans – in shock.
One wrote: “It’s a shame Jada is leaving just as she’s getting interesting.”
A second said: “Don’t leave Jada :(.”
Another added: “Jada’s leaving wow I wasn’t expecting her to leave so soon.”
