EastEnders stars who QUIT MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year? The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.

Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had "quit" the long-running series. It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen. Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford. Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would "quit out of boredom" over recent storylines.

He played Stacey Slater's brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.

Gates for Monday at 2025 Masters closed 'until further notice.' What does it mean?
Gates for Monday at 2025 Masters closed 'until further notice.' What does it mean? AUGUSTA, Ga. — Mother Nature may play a role in how much golf Masters patrons get to see on Monday. Due to expected inclement weather and safety concerns, patron gates will not open as scheduled for Monday's practice round. "All patron parking lots will remain closed until further notice," stated a Masters weather bulletin announcing the delay Sunday evening. "No patrons should approach Augusta National Golf Club until more details are released." The forecast for the first practice round day at the 89th Masters is ominous. The official forecast cites 100 percent chance of rain and "embedded thunderstorms." It is expected to be breezy and cooler at Augusta National Golf Club with a high of 71 degrees and low of 60. The rain is expected to fall all day with heavy rainfall at times and between three-quarters of an inch to an inch and a half. Not just rain but lightning is expected, too More concerning is the occasional lightning. The threat of electricity in the area is expected to diminish in the afternoon. The last time a Masters practice round was canceled due to weather was in 2022, when the Tuesday practice round was suspended due to inclement weather and safety concerns at about 11 a.m. Prior to that, storms washed out a practice round when storms moved into the area and the gates at Augusta National were never opened in 2014, marking the first time in 20 years that had happened. What happens to fans with Monday tickets? If the gates don't open, says it reserves the right to suspend the tournament or close the golf course because of adverse conditions or for other safety reasons. In such situations, no refunds, rain checks, exchanges or replacements will be made. But in 2022, patrons received refunds and were given a chance to buy tickets the following year. Still, it is causing plenty of angst among ticketholders. "Officially feeling crushed after remaining optimistic for the past week. Looking like a total washout Monday. Twenty-three years of waiting to hit the lottery and now this," wrote ForeOSU on Redditt. "Complete and absolute gut punch."
