Casualty star George Rainsford has once again dropped a big hint that he is exiting the soap as Ethan Hardy.
In recent weeks, the actor has opened up speculation about his future on the show, and his latest post on Instagram hasn't done much to dispel rumours.
Posting a picture and clip of a bobblehead figurine of his character, Rainsford wrote: "Immortalised in toy form! What a keepsake. Thank you @ironmintstudio and Casualty. Very pleased they got my head-to-body size ratio spot on! #bobblehead #EthanHardy".

This led fans in the comments to fear the worst, one writing: "I hope you're not leaving, we need Ethan".
"Nooooo that means you're LEAVING," another suggested, while a third asked: "Is this goodbye???".

Back in June, George set the rumour mill alight after tweeting praise for director Duncan Foster, writing: "Lovely last [episode] of Casualty. Some gorgeous shots (relatives room through the window, post crash birds-eye view etc!)".
When Duncan said he would be back in November, George replied: "Glad they've got you back, I won't be around then! Until next time!"

In another post last week, the actor said he was clearing out his dressing room, sharing a picture of a script moment where Ethan discovers his brother Cal (Richard Winsor) has died.
"Just clearing out my dressing room drawer and look what scene I found! [tearful emoji]," Rainsford said.
Casualty returned to screens over the weekend after taking some time off air due to schedule changes over the summer, with the previous episode airing back in July.
Casualty airs on Saturdays on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
