Zachary was pictured filming his exit last month
He returned after escaping from the juvenile detention centre where he was being held following the murder of his own great grandfather - and serial killer - Silas Blissett.
Silas had been determined to terrorise and kill Bobby's mum Mercedes but at the last minute Bobby turned on him and pushed him onto his own fatal trap.
Viewers watched as Bobby broke out of the youth prison to reunite with mum Mercedes, before Myra accidentally let slip he was out and caused the police to hunt him.
He fled the village but was found by Clare Devine who spotted an opportunity to take her revenge on Mercedes - and make some money in her family business.
And it's only going to get darker - but it will also mean the exit of Zachary as Bobby.
A source said: 'Bobby might be a killer but he has no idea who he's dealing with with Clare.
'He thinks she's helping him but the truth is much worse and she's got plans to sell him in her sickening exploitation ring to make money.
'Zachary's stint on the show as always going to be a short stint as Bobby is caught between Clare and Mercedes.
'He's filmed his exit scenes and they are definitely going to shock.
'It's full-on Hollyoaks drama.'
Hollyoaks star quits after nine years - and his final scenes have already aired
Hollyoaks has been contacted for comment.
Later this year the Channel 4 soap will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a month-long celebration including a major stunt and a battle between two of the show's biggest villains.

Gaza: Doctors Under Attack review – this crucial film is the stuff of nightmares. But the world needs to see it
The biggest, and possibly only, failure of Gaza: Doctors Under Attack is that the circumstances of its broadcast threaten to overshadow its content. A brief recap: this film was first commissioned by the BBC, only to be dropped when another documentary – Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone – sparked a furore over impartiality. The abandonment drew uproar from within the corporation, scorn from the wider media and the inescapable sense that what started as a vital piece of film-making had devolved into yet another navel-gazing referendum on the purpose of the BBC. Thanks to Channel 4 picking it up late in the day, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack now exists in the world, and it has never been more evident that this is a work that demands to be seen. Doctors Under Attack bills itself as a 'forensic investigation' into claims that the IDF has been systematically targeting Palestinian medics in all 36 of Gaza's hospitals. The attacks, according to the United Nations, follow a set pattern. First, a hospital comes under bombardment, then it is besieged. After that, it is raided by tanks and bulldozers and its medical workers are detained. And then, once the hospital has essentially been rendered non-functional, the forces move on and repeat. It's a strategy designed to cripple Gaza for years to come, says one talking head. After all, when a building is destroyed, you can throw up another in its place. But medics require years of training. Rob Gaza of their expertise and you deny its chances of ever rebuilding. This is despite, as the film repeats time and time again, healthcare workers being protected under international law. The power of Doctors Under Attack comes in the unhurried way it chooses to unfurl its thesis. There is no clear manipulation, no central villain. What there is, however, is an unceasing timeline of horrors. We are shown doctors doing their best in overwhelmed hospitals with no water or electricity, racing to treat wounds that have already begun to rot. We are shown them coming under what seem like targeted attacks, being detained in black sites where they will be tortured and interrogated. There is footage of a gang rape by soldiers. We are shown children, injured and dead, in vast numbers. The central part of the film, however, is stories of individual doctors. There is Dr Khaled Hamouda, discussing the direct attack on his home that killed 10 members of his family, and the drone strike that moments later hit the house the survivors escaped to. His wife and young daughter dead, he then took refuge in the grounds of his hospital, which was bombarded and raided. He was detained along with 70 other doctors, and beaten. And then there is Dr Adnan al-Bursh, who was detained, stripped, interrogated, disappeared and tortured. Unlike Hamouda, we do not get to hear his testimonial, because he died in prison. But we do get to hear the calls he made to his family before then, telling his children to look after their mother. To hear their stories is to be filled with utter hopelessness. There have been several muscular documentaries about the Palestinian territories this year, either setting the table of the conflict or – as with the case of Louis Theroux's film The Settlers – trying to understand the psychology behind those who choose to exacerbate it. But Doctors Under Attack is by far the most unsparing. The discussion of what has happened to the detained doctors, verified by an anonymous Israeli whistleblower, is the stuff of nightmares. There are beatings. There is torture. Most unsettlingly of all, there are descriptions of mistreatment by Israeli doctors, who would perform procedures without anaesthetic and inform the prisoners that 'You are a criminal and you have to die.' The BBC dropped Doctors Under Attack due to the risk that it created 'a perception of partiality'. However, it is hard to square that claim with the film that has aired on Channel 4. Clarification has been sought from the IDF at every turn. The events of 7 October 2023 are shown here just as graphically as the footage of injured Palestinian children. The film-makers understand that the slightest sign of bias would collapse the argument. In an open letter before its broadcast, Channel 4's Louisa Compton warned that Doctors Under Attack would 'make people angry, whichever side they take.' She is right. This is the sort of television that will never leave you. It will provoke an international reaction, and for extremely good cause. Forget what got it stopped at the BBC. It is here now and, regardless of how that happened, we owe it to the subjects to not look away. Gaza: Doctors Under Attack is on Channel 4 now. Viewers around the world can access the film here

Oisin Murphy fined £70,000 for drink-driving offence which led to car accident
Oisin Murphy, the reigning champion jockey on the Flat, was fined £70,000 with an additional £2,000 surcharge and £85 in costs at Reading magistrates court on Thursday after pleading guilty to a drink-driving charge following a crash in the early hours of 27 April. Murphy, 29, who was also banned from driving for 20 months, was described in court as having tested 'just shy' of twice the legal limit for alcohol around seven hours after the crash. He returned a reading of 66 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath, well above the legal limit of 35 micrograms per 100ml of breath. He was not required to plead to an additional charge of failing to provide a test sample at the roadside, following what was described as 'a misunderstanding between him and the police officers' by Richard Atkins, representing the Crown Prosecution Service. The court heard that Murphy admitted to police at the scene that he had been the driver of the grey Mercedes A-Class car, which left the road near Hermitage, West Berkshire, and collided with a tree. A female passenger in the car was subsequently taken to hospital. Murphy missed four booked rides at Southwell later the same day, but returned to race-riding at Windsor on the evening of 28 April, where he rode a double.

Laura Anderson reveals marriage and baby plans with Scots boyfriend Clark Robertson
Laura Anderson and Clark Robertson only went public with their relationship in October last year but they have already discussed their future together Laura Anderson rose to fame as a contestant on Love Island seven years ago and since then the Scottish influencer's love life has played out in the public eye. Making it all the way to the final with her villa lover Paul Knops, the pair split just a few months after leaving the ITV show and Laura went on to date Love Island 2015 winner Max Morley. However, it was not meant to be with the pair and things in Laura's life changed forever when she started dating Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy after meeting him on Celebs Go Dating. Laura fell pregnant just five months into their relationship and the pair shocked fans when they announced their split, shortly after announcing they were expecting their first child together. The 36-year-old now shares her one-year-old daughter Bonnie with Gary Lucy, although she has taken several public digs at him after claiming she is a "single parent". One of which came on Father's Day last month when she took to her Instagram Stories to write: "Cheers to the single mums who feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day." However, the Scots star has now moved on and is back in love with her new man - Dundee FC player Clark Robertson. Laura and Clark went public last October and the former Capital Radio host appears to be happier than ever with her new beau, so much so that marriage and kids may even be on the cards. Clark, has his own two kids, eight-year-old son Cole and a five-year-old daughter named Mimi, who he shares with his ex fiancé Karla Ray. Laura has now opened up about the possibility of having more children with the Aberdeen born star and Clark's relationship with Bonnie. Speaking to Closer, Laura said: "Well, it pulls at the ovaries a little bit! But we're not ready to go there just yet. "I didn't meet his kids until we'd been together for about nine months but he met Bonnie quite quickly because she was a baby she didn't know what was going on and she was with me all the time so we couldn't really not. "We waited a little while for me to meet his kids because they're a bit older. It's so nice seeing him with his kids, it makes a man more attractive when you see their caring side. He's a really good dad." While the pair seemed to have planned to have more kids in the future, it doesn't seem this will be happening any time soon. Laura said: "We both said that we wanted to meet somebody who already had kids. When you put your children first you hope that the next person you meet understands that. "We both said on the first date that we wanted more children but not right now. "Bonnie's a lot to handle and we've just started our new life together, so we'll give it a little bit of time before we jump into that – with a ring first!" Hinting that she wants to tie the knot before becoming a mum again, Laura added: "I just want what everybody wants, it would be nice to be married."
