The actor will finish filming with the BBC One show in the summer after bosses decided not to renew his one-year contract.
Writing on Twitter this morning (March 23), Lomas paid tribute to EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins and promised that there are still interesting times ahead for Jake on the Square.
Lomas joined the cast of EastEnders in June 2013 and made his first appearance as Jake in August.
Jake's initial scenes saw him introduced as a new love interest for Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) as they met at a support group for recovering alcoholics.
The pair quickly embarked on a relationship, but it was later revealed to viewers that Jake was married to fellow Walford newcomer Sadie Young (Kate Magowan).
Jake's infidelity caught up with him in January this year as his affair was exposed, leading to the departures of Sadie and the couple's daughter Bella.
More recently, Jake has returned to Walford following a short absence and has been trying to get his life back on track.
Prior to his EastEnders role, Lomas was best known for playing Hollyoaks villain Warren Fox.
