Actor ‘axed from EastEnders’ After News Story

It has been reported today that Dean Gaffney - who plays Robbie Jackson - has been axed from the soap after only two years back in the role.

The Daily Star Sunday has revealed that soap bosses have already written out the character after their concerns about his recent behaviour.

Speaking to the publication, the source said: "Dean knows he’s made some bad decisions and he is working hard to get his life back on track. Bosses apparently terminated his contract after the newspaper revealed claims that he contacted a random girl online and asked her for naked pictures of her body.

"He split up from his long-term girlfriend and then he lost his job. But he knows he only has himself to blame.

"He’s always been a popular member of the cast and everyone loves Robbie Jackson so it’s a real shame that he will no longer be on our screens."

Dean took some time away from the soap earlier this year, with his character Robbie leaving for India.

"After everything that’s happened Dean realised that he had to completely change his lifestyle.

"He’s had a massive wake-up call and wants to get his life back on track. Bosses have left the door open for his character, so there’s always a chance that one day he might be able to go back."

So there you have it, Robbie won't be returning from India any time soon. Would you like to see the character return again in the future?
