EastEnders' Sean Slater to make dramatic Christmas exit

Actor Rob Kazinsky to plunge into frozen late

Inside Soap Awards 2008: Rob Kazinsky celebrates a double win

Rob Kazinsky is to leave East Enders after 2 years in the BBC1 soap

Rob Kazinsky is set to leave EastEnders at the end of this year.

The actor, who plays bad-boy Sean Slater, will exit in what promise to be some of the soaps most dramatic scenes.

Sean, who is married to Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simmons, 31), kidnaps his newborn baby after he discovers he might not be the real father – and plunges into a frozen lake with him.

‘Will Sean live or die and what will happen to Roxy’s baby?’ an insider tells The Sun. ‘Viewers are going to be hooked – and we’re not going to disappoint.’

Sean made his first appearance in EastEnders in 2006.
