ARRESTED on terrorism charges, Aaron Monroe has been in prison since January, 2022, leading fans to wonder about his fate.
However, EastEnders bosses confirmed that actor Charlie Wernham has filmed his final scenes some time ago.
Many fans will be pleased to know Aaron Monroe won’t be back to wreak havoc in Albert Square as they asked for him to be booted out of the show.
The character portrayed by actor Charlie Wernham was involved in the BBC One soap’s far-right storyline since he made his first appearance in Walford in October, 2021.
Viewers may remember that Aaron had been part of a plot to plant a bomb in the Square during the festive season.
This was until his cabbie father Harvey (portrayed by Ross Boatman) turned him in for his racist behaviour.

Aaron was arrested and thrown behind bars in January, 2022, appearing on screens sporadically and leaving fans to wonder whether he would ever be seen again.
But during its latest instalment, EastEnders confirmed that his fate had already been sealed after a harrowing prison attack.
Aaron has officially been sentenced for his crimes off-screen and has been transferred to another prison in Newcastle.
Aaron’s on-screen sister Dana (Barbara Smith) broke the news to her former boyfriend Bobby Beale after receiving a phone call from her father, but details of Aaron’s sentence have not been made clear.
The exit comes as a shock but has been confirmed by a soap source first mentioned by Digital Spy.
Charlie Wernham will not be returning to the program as he has already filmed his last scenes, meaning his most recent appearances in prison, as his on-screen father paid him a visit, were his last.
HOAR has contacted an EastEnders spokeswoman for comment.
