But according to the BBC's Head of Continuing Drama, Kate Oates, not only is Wadey ready to take on that challenge, he's also set to take the soap into "uncharted territory" in the coming months.
"We can tease that all those heartland characters have some really, really big stuff coming up, actually," she explained.
She added: "We're going to miss Chris terribly, but we're also really excited for what's to come."
EastEnders' win in the Best Soap and Continuing Drama category marked the first time it had won the award in 2019 – with the soap beating off competition from Coronation Street and last year's winners Casualty to win the accolade.
