A source told The Sun, the ending storyline will be "massive" as she follows boyfriend Mick Carter, after the two characters announced Janine's pregnancy.
One fan wrote: "I'm absolutely gutted that Charlie Brooks is leaving EastEnders soon! It's been wonderful having Janine back on the show, and I do sincerely hope that this isn't the last we've seen of her! Wishing you all the best for the future Charlie!"
