Swash leaving 'EastEnders'

Actor Joe Swash who plays Mickey Miller on EastEnders reportedly is soon to be written off the British television soap opera.

The BBC said Swash, a veteran of the show since 2003, will exit the long-running show in a big, dramatic storyline to air this summer.

David Spinx, the actor who plays the father of Swash's character, will also be written out of the series at the same time, the report said.
