Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt)

EE will air these scenes in october (shame for the wait, but at least we now know when it's coming). I had almost forgotten about Ian's own suicidal tendencies. With everything concerning Bobby, it slipped my mind. The whole thing would drive anyone over the edge, let alone someone who's already tried to commit suicide.

I would think seeing his dead mother would push him further even

Possibly. In the photos, it looks like Jane gets Ian down just as his mom appears. Should make an interesting family reunion.

Do you think Ian's upcoming suicide is really due to the pressure of dealing with Bobby, or possibly because Bobby might be arrested by then? In the report it states that Ian reaches breaking point, as the pressure of concealing Bobby's killer secret takes its toll. But then again that could be a cover-up for the report, so as not to reveal any spoilers. It says in the next few weeks that the Beales all turn on each other and Jane seems intent on turning Bobby in, so maybe she does? Maybe dealing with Bobby and his anger gets too much, and they finally realise he needs help, and turn him in. Dealing with having turned his own son in, not to mention the people's gossip, would be enough to depress anyone enough to kill themselves.

Kathy looks younger than Jane and Ian in the pictures

Ian will fight to prevent Jane from revealing Bobby's guilt? Sounds like more bad writing, Ian's been the one pushed to the edge as today's pictures show.

Maybe he's suicidal because Jane's about to go to the police? Or maybe she's already been as Storyseeker1 suggests.

Dealing with having turned his own son in, not to mention the people's gossip, would be enough to depress anyone enough to kill themselves.

Good point, if Ian goes along with turning Bobby in, he might feel suicidally guilty afterwards.


I think we'll be seeing Kathy again soon, but it sounds like she and Ian won't come face to face for quite a while. They sure do like to string things out!

EastEnders: Ian Beale leaves Albert Square - with killer Bobby in tow
The pressure gets too much for the Beales next week - but what will all this mean for the innocent Max?



Ian Beale is to do a runner from Walford next week - and he'll be taking pint-sized murderer Bobby with him.

A panicky Ian makes the decision to flee with his son following a heart to heart in the launderette with a newly released Dot.

Dot will be seen admitting that she wishes she'd turned Nick in to the police for his own benefit - a sentiment that makes Ian start to question his own decision making as regards Bobby.

Later on, Ian agrees to meet with lawyer Marcus Christie in order to give Max an alibi. But he's stopped in his tracks when Bobby is sent home from school after getting into a fight.

Torn as to what he should do for the best, Ian then makes a shocking decision and does a flit in the middle of the night with Bobby.

So will Bobby evade justice thanks to Ian's actions? And will Max go down for the crime of killing Lucy?

Maybe Ian will send Bobby to a psychiatric place, like he did with Steven, to give him some therapy to help out with his anger issues?

Ian is stopped in his tracks by Bobby being sent home. Meanwhile, Lauren is stopped from revealing the truth because her waters break. I bet they will also work in someone rushing in a car to get somewhere only to be held up by road works.........Eastenders just love these last minute hitches. It's been a staple plot line for 30 years!
