Holby City's Potts bows out from Eddi McKee role

Holby City actress Sarah-Jane Potts has left the BBC One medical drama.

Potts made her final appearance as nurse Eddi Mckee in tonight’s episode.

Potts told Digitalspy: “I am proud that I have been a part of this fantastic programme and I’m really thankful that I have had the opportunity to work on this show. I’d never say never to coming back – I absolutely love the programme and all the people at Holby.”

In the episode viewers saw Luke Tittensor reprise his role as Eddi’s brother Liam as Eddi left the hospital to overcome her addiction demons.
The character’s departure was kept under wraps meaning fans will have been surprised by the turn of events in the episode.
Eddi made her first appearance in Holby City in June last year and her relationship with colleague Luc has since captured the hearts of many of the show’s fans.

Holby City’s Consultant series producer Justin Young adds: “We were very sad to say goodbye to Sarah-Jane, but we always agreed that Eddi would only be a part of the Holby team for a limited time.
“In just a year, Sarah-Jane created a fantastic character, and – along with Luc – became half of one of the most talked about couples in Holby’s history.
“Sarah-Jane was great to work with and we miss her. It’s the end of Luc and Eddi’s story for now, but who knows what the future might hold?”

Potts has now moved to the USA with her partner and son.
