To make matters worse for Lee, played by Danny-Boy Hatchard, he is being cruelly bullied by his boss and colleague and failing to meet company targets.
As viewers watched the lad who suffers from depression look increasingly distraught, many labelled the scenes “heartbreaking” and worried that his impending exit could be because of a breakdown, or even suicide.
One tweeted: “Watching Lee is heartbreaking… Speak out guys. You're never alone. Help is out there. #eastenders #depression”, while another added: “Lee’s storyline is heartbreaking. It's hard to think about people dealing with things like that everyday of their lives #eastenders @danboy”
