EastEnders Star Bernie Is LEAVING Walford
EastEnders’ iconic star Clair Norris, best known for portraying Bernie Taylor on the BBC soap, is all set to leave Walford. Long-time viewers know the character as Karen’s daughter, and she has been struggling to take center stage after Keanu’s murder storyline. And now, a spokesperson from the soap has confirmed that the beloved star will leave later this year.
They said in a statement, ‘We can confirm that Clair will be leaving EastEnders later this year, and we wish her all the best for the future.’ It looks like the soap opera is making some big changes now that the new boss, Ben Wadey, has taken over following Chris Clenshaw’s departure as executive producer. The insider addressed the same and said, ‘Every time a soap gets a new boss, they want to make their own changes – it’s nothing personal.’
While speaking to The Sun, the source highlighted that Bernie was the last family member from the Taylor clan, and it’s time that the show closes that chapter. We know the Taylors made their way to Walford in 2017, and Bernie lived with her siblings – Keanu, Keegan, and twins Riley and Chatham.
