'EastEnders' star Billy Murray is reportedly thinking of quitting the soap because he does not like his character.
The actor, who plays Johnny Allen in the series, has allegedly said that he is not happy and wants to leave.
Low morale on set and sniping between members of the cast has reportedly also put him off, despite the fact that he has two and a half years left to go on his contract.
"Billy wants out. He's not happy on the show. There's a lot of back stabbing and some of the stars don't get on," an insider told The Sun newspaper.
They claimed that 64-year-old Murray could not stand the "tense atmosphere" on set, adding: "He wants to go, but it's difficult because he signed a three-year contract and he's only been on screen for six months."
In response, an 'EastEnders' spokesman stated: "Billy is very well liked among both the cast and crew. There is no indication that he is unhappy at all."
Murray came to prominence as 'The Bill's corrupt cop, Don Beech, a character he played for eight years and later reprised in the special spin-off, 'Beech On The Run'.
