It’s not yet known if and when Gray will exit the Square but it seems as though there’s still many more challenges ahead for the Taylor family.
Elsewhere, Chantelle’s close friend Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol) has already promised to help get her out of her marriage.
Earlier this week, Kheerat professed his love for his employee and vowed to help her in whatever way he could.
So when the residents of Walford learn of Chantelle’s passing, it’s sure to cause a huge wave of sadness for months to come – but when will Gray finally be rumbled?
