Following her character’s exit, 25 year old Molly, who joined the BBC One soap in 2023, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message accompanied by several photos.
Molly wrote: “Your girl Anna Knight is off to [Australia]. I can’t put into words just how wonderful the last few years at @bbceastenders has been.
“Anna’s laughed, cried, worked and lived in the Vic (still surreal), been in a love triangle, been spiked, got pregnant, had tough conversations about Race and her mum came back from the dead. No wonder she needs a break from Walford!”, reports OK!.
