EastEnders has revealed Frankie Lewis's exit story, as she gets offered a new opportunity next week.
Rose Ayling-Ellis has already filmed her final scenes on the BBC soap, and Frankie's departure will be airing later this month.
Viewers know that Frankie has had a tough time of it in recent weeks, after she was followed and harassed by a stranger following a night out.
Prior to that, Frankie had been left humiliated after starting her new job, when school boys Denzel and Nugget took inappropriate photos of her and used them to make a video, which was posted online.
As Frankie continues to contemplate her future, she tells Shirley that the girl she is helping at school will be moving to Scotland, and that she has been invited to join the family there.

Speaking about her exit, Rose said: "It's been incredibly special to be EastEnders' first regular deaf actor.
"I have loved my time on the show and Frankie has been such an awesome character to play. However, now feels like the right time for me to move on and I am excited and ready for new challenges.
"I will always treasure my time on the show and all the incredible people I have worked with, who have supported my growth as an actor these last two years and given me so many amazing memories. I am excited for viewers to see Frankie's exit storyline; I think it's a really important one that will hit home for lots of people."
