I love you Shona ❤

[@thesilful]

I will miss you 😘

[@accountuser5588]

Brilliant character she's been over the years. My favourite storyline was probably with her and Lee when they were married and things fell apart.

[@pinky-ud1rt]

Your an amazing shona..i hope your gonna keep acting good look in thd future x

[@lil105tube]

Please don’t leave

[@CoolMikey81]

Eastenders ain’t the same anymore.. all the good characters have left and it’s just full of bad young ones..I’ve not watched the show in 15 or 18 years.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

Ian, Sharon, Cindy, Phil, Kathy, Billy and Bianca are all new?

[@susanflorance7995]

I will miss whitney

[@KmT81]

She's so pretty. She'll be missed but I think she made the good decision to leave as she's young and she has to make other roles for her career because when you see Steve McFadden and Adam Woodyatt,they never had other roles except Eastenders whilst they both are good Actors Steve could ve played in Gangster Movies and even couldve reached Hollywood.

[@megbaxter8720]

You are going be miss. Good luck.

[@priscilla290]

She's really pretty.

[@tothemoonandforward]

Such a bad ending for a fabulous actress and character. She deserved better from the writers

[@chrisleach6548]

But please don't disappear off TV. Many people do that leaves soaps and don't see them for years and then, few years later they pop-up?

[@jnaemaraj]

Is she leaving permanently?

[@maureenfurmedge1917]

she can still come back in future ! they not killed her off that's what normally happens

[@grahamandrewsharpe1941]

Shona McGarty should sing for the pope at Wembley.

[@suhailahmad7205]

Why is she leaving Eastenders???

[@TheHateSpeechChannel]

I'm proud that the last time I watched eastenders dirty den was still in it.

[@carlstanley3718]

She kind of reminds me of Amy Lee from Evanescence

[@lillianflorence6056]

She wont get anything else, she will be back

[@shaynetunnicliff2638]

Is she leaving with sack?

[@DaveEagle-fx9ty]

Its been boring story line draged it on😊

[@kevinhickey3515]

Used to like her but this foster carry on has been pathetic and she is right to give it up as the scripts are awful. June Brown said and did the same. Indeed she could take a few with her......

[@DaveEagle-fx9ty]

Boring story line all about her😊

[@sicdoctor]

Will be no more rubbing her belly constantly.

[@Forestxxprincess]

Or looking like Dracula 🧛🏻‍♀️

[@sicdoctor]

@@Forestxxprincess yeah, and now all this stuff with that girl and calling her daughter 😂 and even calling bianca mum. Since when does she call her mum!

[@SAMOVRAH18]

🫦💥🫦💥🫦💥🫦

[@Dancingjenni121]

All she done was cry. Most episodes, sick of it in the end,.

[@macduff1699]

That's why it's called drama 😂

[@JordanjamesX]

Good for Shona despite the good salary she wanted to leave EastEnders. She doesn't want to get typecast and stuck as a soap actor.

[@maureenfurmedge1917]

well its a shame she has gone !!but must say the young girl britney was an aufull actor !!she looked uncomfortable all the time

[@shaminaz]

She’ll do celebrity big brother…or I’m a celebrity get me out of here and after ten years they will bring her back 🙄🙄🙄🥱🥱🥱

[@LL-ip5mm]

She’s had a traumatic life

[@lester9448]

Sexy shona 😂😂😂

[@Trish-ql9kz]

Totally unrealistic storyline leading up to her leaving.. almost laughable

[@jaradbadder8300]

By😂😂😂

[@John-lp5xh]

16 years at 200 grand a year, nice

[@mallafets]

No chance she has earned that. Steve McFadden only went over the £200k mark a few years back as the highest earner on Eastenders.

[@AC-LING666]

She'll probably cry and moan in every episode in Coronation street next

[@shandiamapp3470]

Bye!

[@d8456]

Glad shes gone nothing but annoying

[@MICHAELMYERS37]

No shes not i love her charater

[@DaveEagle-fx9ty]

So am I boring story line

[@darren2656]

Crap exit but not a lot they could really do with the character to leave the door open for Shona with James staying on the show

[@DaveEagle-fx9ty]

Boring story line all about her glad shes going
