Actor Jake Wood will bow out of Walford on Friday 19 February after almost 15 years in the role.
This week, viewers have seen Max blackmail Phil Mitchell (played by Steve McFadden) and lock horns with Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) in a final twist before he leaves.
After finding a USB at his brother Jack s house, Max threatens Phil with the incriminating evidence, pointing out how long Phil could end up in prison and telling him what he wants in exchange for his silence.
