EastEnders: Gray Atkins gets chased away by police after being arrested

EastEnders Toby-Alexander Smith could be arranged to join his girlfriend Amy Walsh on ITV’s rival soap Emmerdale after he leaves the BBC’s Walford as Gray Atkins.

The 31-year-old’s EastEnders character finally got on the BBC last week, when serial killer Gray Atkins was finally caught and arrested for his crimes.

The actor played serial killer Gray Atkins for three years after only signing up for the first six months as domestic abuser Grey.

But his entire plot changed when Gray murdered his wife Chantelle in shocking scenes that saw him push her up an upside-down knife in the dishwasher in 2020.

Chantelle was knocked over by Gray, fell on the blade, and tragically bled to death as he refused to get help, making her death look like an accident instead.

Gray then went on to kill Tina Carter and Kush Kazemi, becoming Walford’s newest serial killer.

But soap fans have now seen Gray’s terrifying killing spree come to a dramatic end when police officers handcuffed him on Albert Square following a dramatic confrontation with Whitney Dean.

However, he can now appear in another hit movie alongside girlfriend Amy, who played Tracy Metcalfe in Emmerdale.

Soap fans could be about to see the pair join forces and work together on the show with an estimated annual contract of up to £500,000, Daily Star report.

The EastEnders actor can earn up to £2,000 per episode in which he stars, as Embryo stats from ITV show that actors are paid between £400 and £2,000 per episode – that equates to a whopping 12-month contract of £520,000.

Jo Threlfall, Head of Digital PR at Embryo told the Daily Star: “Toby Alexander-Smith’s career has skyrocketed since he debuted on Eastenders and since he left the soap, it opened an opportunity for the actor to explore other options in his acting career.

“Whether it’s theater or casting for Netflix and Toby movies, there’s no shortage of opportunities.

“Rumors have revealed that the soap star could appear with his co-star Amy if so he could potentially earn over £500,000 a year!”

Jo added: “On the other hand, if he wanted to explore reality TV shows or influencers like I’m A Celeb, he could earn well over £1,000 per social media post. or up to 100K for my jungle appearances.”

The statistics reveal that celebrities can get up to £500,000 for their appearances on the grueling ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get me out of here!

This happened when the actor appeared to rule out Gray’s return to EastEnders in the future, despite not being killed.

Toby told The Sun: “I don’t know, I’m not sure audiences will be too happy to see Gray redeemed, I have to say.

“I think justice needs to be seen and Gray needs to have his support. Who knows if we’ll ever see him again but it’s EastEnders so you never know.”
