Friday December 4th

An evening of celebrations ends in an arrest, and everyone is out to get Ian. It seems like Rainie and Stuart have been added to Ian?s enemy list too. So many questions ? why is Ben so angry?

EastEnders veteran Ian Beale is going to be attacked as part of a Christmas storyline, sparking a big 'whodunit' mystery.

As reported in The Sun, the incident will happen in the Queen Vic, with Ian being left for dead (although he won't actually die, it's Ian Beale!).

There will be multiple suspects, which is unsurprising considering Ian isn't everyone's favourite person. Kathy Beale, Bobby, Peter, Dotty Cotton and Max Branning have been named as key figures with plausible motives, but we could easily see the writers throwing in a curveball.

Ian actor Adam Woodyatt has announced that he will be taking a break from the soap to do some theatre, although that is currently pencilled in for April next year (depending on how things go with the pandemic, of course) so this story will not necessarily directly lead to a temporary exit for him, although it's possible the revelation of who attacks him will be held back until that time.

"I am so excited to be swapping the Square for the road in the world premiere stage production of Peter [James, not Beale]'s fantastic novel Looking Good Dead," Adam said at the time of his theatrical announcement.

"I can't wait to tour the UK and to experience the feeling of performing this thrilling play in front of a live audience every night. There are not many things that would persuade me to take a break from EastEnders, but this is one of them."

I think Suki hit him with her handbag Ian totally scuppered her plans, her bag probably had the takings in from the Minute Mart, she's a naughty girl and very controlling.

I?m getting a bit sick n tired of the Sharon/Ian/Phil story line; I wonder how Sharon will feel when she finds out that her ?darling Denny? was the reason Bobby ended up in hospital in 5he first place! And she?s very quick to forgive Phil?s involvement in the boat accident as well!
