Taken From DS
EastEnders favourite Jane Beale will be left for dead after being shot in the stomach by a mysterious face from husband Ian's past.
Café worker Jane – played by Laurie Brett – will be rushed into hospital fighting for her life following the incident.
The storyline marks a dramatic peak in the Cindy Beale haunting plot where Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and daughter Lucy (Melissa Suffield) are plagued with e-mails from beyond the grave signed by their 'late' wife and mother.
A source told Digital Spy: "The storyline will be massive. We can't wait for everything to come out. Cast and crew alike have been sworn to secrecy as to who's sending the messages - and ultimately who pulls the trigger.
"Cindy apparently died in prison during child birth. She can't really still be alive - can she?"
They added: "She's got form and a motive – but there are definitely a few other people who hate Ian, too..."
An EastEnders spokeswoman refused to comment on the storyline.
My money is on Steven Beale. It has been said in the past that he would return. He is Cindy's son after all !
I think it is Cindy's daughter (the one she had in prison) or her lover (her daughters father). It could possibly be Lucy and Craig setting all this up.. we know he has a gun so he is already a suspect..
this looks like a very very interesting storyline and I hope is doesn't drag on as long as the Max/Stacey one!!
Looks really interesting i am surprised its Jane that gets shot, usually out of the beales there gunning for Ian, it will be really sad although its good she gets a story line she hasnt really had a proper one.
an intresting twist in this upcoming stoyline, I wonder if the bullet is intended for Ian?
I doubt Cindy's daughter would be pulling the trigger, she can only be what 10years old maximum?
Ian Beale's enemies are endless, but I'd love it be Steven or one of the Wicks brothers. Laura would have been a good one if she was alive, maybe Janine just for the hell of being spiteful?

I hope its David Wicks he is dark enough to pull the trigger but i reckon its Craig or could he and the gun just be a red herring???

I am thinking that.. everyone is expecting it to be craig. could be someone we least expect... I don't think one of the mitchells again far to obvious... My money would be on Cindy's ex or Steven (make his return from new zealand)

We all know theres tons of people taking numbers to have a piece of Ian..I wonder when this EXPLOSIVE story line is to occur?????:searchme:
We all know Craig has a gun,so how do we know that Jay does not join forces with Craig, hes always acting up and showing off,, so why not Jay..:searchme:
I hate to see Jane take the bullet for that worthless Ian.. wonder if he pushed her in front of him when the assilant had the gun out ????? Wouldn't surprise me cos hes such a spineless wimp !!!:thumbsdow
Looking forward to the story...:p

It cant be Craig as its supposed to be someone from Ians past. So does that confirm a return of a former charecter???

what about mel the one that run off to spain lisa friendMel? :confused:
Ian's third wife that married Steve Owen?
I doubt it would be her, becuase although their marraige ended in divorce within 24 hours of marrying, Mel never seemed to hate Ian, I'm sure they settled their differences after the split, she'd have no intrest in coming back to shoot him.

no I know who she is lol, just confused as to why they said Mel

yeah it would never be Mel.. she never hated Ian that much to shoot his wife.. if anything Ian was more bitter to her then the other way around.. Ooooh maybe it is Grant!! He could be annoyed Jane would go with him and you know how much he hates Ian
I reckon its going to be Stephen - he hated Ian when he left and has not wanted anything to do with him since. :angry: Maybe he wants to hurt Ian the way Ian hurt him and he thinks the best way he can do that is to get to his latest wife! Does anyone know whent this is supposed to be happening? Great storyline EE :cheer:

Yeah, I mean, although she eventually fired him, if she hated him enough to shoot his wife, then why would she have gone in to business with him?

well I dont think it will be Craig, hes not from Ian's past, I do like the whole Steven thing. But Ian has so many enemies it could be anybody.

24-08-2007, 23:54
well at last ian in a good storyline, I hope it is steven after all when he left he was a disturbed child ( remember the poison pen letters ) so heres to what he is like now

But steven probably won't know who Jane is :hmm: My moneys on Craig :p He seems capable, and who knows, maybe he's aiming for Ian! :ninja:
*-Rooney-*
25-08-2007, 00:04
but craigs not a mystery face from the past, maybe stevens aiming for ian or hes saw pics of ian and jane together.
I think craigs too obvious
But steven probably won't know who Jane is :hmm: My moneys on Craig :p He seems capable, and who knows, maybe he's aiming for Ian! :ninja:
I should think Pat is still in contact with him though or has been whilst he has been in NZ, so perhaps Pat told him about Ian and Jane etc...:hmm:
Another thought there....:searchme:

You know what guys I am willing to bet the bullet was intended for Ian and he pushes Jane in front of him and she takes the bullet for him,, cos that is just how Ian is a whiney little scaredy cat..:thumbsdow
My money is on Steven.. he was a messed up kid when he head off to NZ.. Lucy might even be the one who pulls the trigger too,, :searchme:
*-Rooney-*
25-08-2007, 09:08
there is always the chance that the twins lucy and peter keep in contact with him, more likely lucy out of the two of them because she goes out of her way to do what her dad doesnt want and peter is ian's little lap dog
Pat would definitely be in contact with Steven though as Steven was still a Wicks as Simon (Pat's son) is his bio dad.
Came across this in All About Soap:
Jane shot dead?
Albert Square’s Jane Beale is to be gunned down, but could it really be Ian’s late wife Cindy, back from the dead, who pulls the trigger, as has been rumoured? And was the bullet even meant for Jane – or is it Ian the sniper is out to get? The deadly attack will be the climax of a story starting this autumn that will see the Beales terrorised by a stalker sending e-mails and texts from ‘Cindy.’ But Ian has made plenty of enemies – and we reckon the culprit could be closer to home… “Cast and crew have been sworn to secrecy as to who’s sending the messages.” a source says. “And who pulls the trigger…”

i did hear that both ian and lucy received e mail(s) signed by deceased cindy, but what about peter if it was cindy wouldnt he have gotten one since he is also cindy's son, just a thought.
maybe peter just cracks, sick of lucy always getting the attention, him always getting pushed to the back, him always the forgotten one, it would be an interesting twist lol

Rooney thats a good one,, Peter.. yea he has always been shoved in the back,, and yea sorta forgotten,, I always thought he would end up being a minature Ian..money grubbing and a cheap miser...
But for some reason my money is on Stephen ( he hated Ian when he left )

I hope it is Stephen but i have a really bad feeling that it's actually Lucy...she's been turning into a bit of a rebel lately and i think all this "Cindy" stuff will be her idea as a joke which goes to far when Jane is shot...this storyline will give out the message that Lucy is slowly turning into her mother, but it would be way too similar to the Hillman cards storyline in Corrie so i do hope that Lucy isn't the culprit..
has anyone thought that it could really be cindy???? althought this storyline is very much like the letters recived from the dead richard hillman in corry i think that the shoter is the whole of the square trying to get one over one ian its one masssive conspricy and cover up lol:wall:

It is not Cindy... the return of her character has been deny by the BBC so I am guessing it is lucy and craig to get back at Ian.. Or we could be totally fooled and it might be Peter doing this just to get Ian and Lucy back as a family
I'm guessing that Craig does it with Lucy. After all, he was hardly going to think that continuing to see Lucy behind Ian's back is sufficient revenge after Ian had him against a wall, and considering that he had a gun in the glove compartment of his car. I think parts of Cindy's personality could start to come out more than they have already through Lucy in this, and that is why the rumours were started about Cindy returning.

i dont think craig has anything to do with it as he and lucy didnt exactly part on good terms did they, she took the money and threatened him with the police, plus i think the fact that we have saw that he has a gun makes it all too obvious to be him

I'm pretty sure I read something about them starting to meet up behind Ian's back again. It would be obvious to a certain extent as he has a gun, but maybe the producers are expecting that over time the viewers will start to think it unlikely for Craig to extract some form of revenge as he has access to a gun and yet hasn't done anything. It's not like Lucy would really mind if he did do anything to Ian, and I can only see her going to the police if he refuses to see her when she likes or tries to get her into bed again.

she sneaks off to meet Craig next week so it is has not ended with him... she just has control over him with the going to the police thing.. she will get him to do the shooting I reckon
Could it be that Jane is shot be accident? Lucy has the gun now and somehow Jane gets shot by Lucy by accident? She may hate Jane but i can't believe she'd shot her on purpose.

Is it suppose to Cindy's sister? Even though Lucy does have the gun now would she shot Jane?
*-Rooney-*
12-09-2007, 12:14
its too obvious to be obvious to be lucy, even though she does have a gun i think that is to throw us off the scent,
Is it suppose to Cindy's sister? Even though Lucy does have the gun now would she shot Jane?
No it is not Gina.. Ian goes to see her and she said she hasn't... I reckon on Steven but I would love it to be Peter just cause we don't expect him of it and he is probably sick of the attention Lucy was getting and this is his way of getting back at her
Maybe it is more than one person - someone had to deliever the package as well as send the emails as they happened at the same time.

That is what I was thinking last night.. how could someone send the email and then Ian got a knock on the door with the package.. has to be at least 2 involved.. maybe lucy and Steven... she is just playing along to freak ian out

my moneys on steven too. i heard he was coming back at the beining of the year because i remember arguing with my mum about how old he is as they said hed be 18-19 now but im sure hes younger like 16. anyway i think stephen.deffenatly and as for jane being shoot i think if it is stephen itll be accidently or itll be by bobby after finding it in lucys wardrobe(is that still there?)
*-Rooney-*
16-09-2007, 11:33
well we all know that stevens a loose cannon, remember before he left years ago he was sending laura (I think it was at the time ) poison pen letters, so imagine what hes like now years later

He was born in 1989 so he will be 17/18 now, i really hope it is him, it would be a nice twist to the story and i always did like Steven

16-09-2007, 19:59
I dont know why but it keeps cropping up in my mind. Janes the stalker and the gun that Lucy has is how Jane gets shot???
*-Rooney-*
16-09-2007, 21:15
why would jane stalk ian and lucy?
plus there is the facts that she does get shot, she is at the computer when e-mails arrive and the perfume gets delivered, and she was at the other side of the cafe when the photo was hand delivered?
I think it is Steven but he is not working alone. If it is him I hope he stays in the show as it gives Pat some REAL family

18-09-2007, 18:41

something thats bothering me though is if it is steven, since he has been living with simon in NZ, if he had left surely pat would have known and brought it up in conv to ian, after all nothing else stays secret for long in the square........unless.............................m aybe he's working with PAT lol

19-09-2007, 19:43
Do we find out when ian does? because ian finds out this week then gets kidnapped or whatever it is and then jane gets shot doesnt she. whoever it is must be loaded because theyre spending alot of money on delvieries and that really!

It's Reg Cox's corpse with a crossbow.
so who is "cindy" because at the end of this episode it looked like stephen but when ian spoke i swear he said something like john
*-Rooney-*
21-09-2007, 20:42
my subtitles were on he said no it cant be
I thought that jane was to be shot before the identity of " cindy" was uncovered
so it must be stephen then, hes about the right age...

What a silly ending considering none of us knows who it is, other than it could be and probably is Stephen. The least Ian could have done was said his name to verify it. Other than that the episode was good I enjoyed it.
i agree we need verification, im sure its stephen though

Yeah I have to agree with you there! The viewers just needed that closure on the episode.
it would have been a better ending if the boy just looked at him and said dad, although maybe we arent supposed to know for sure who it is
But I wouldn't have thought Steven would have called Ian "dad", seeing as Ian isn't his dad anyway....:searchme:
Personally I don't think any verification was needed at the end of this episode and I think EE have played a blinder in order to build up the suspense into next week and the weeks that follow where it will all be revealed. EE's slogan used to be "Everyones talking about it", lol, and even after we have seen who it is, everyone is still going "Who is it?" lol! Well done EE!

21-09-2007, 22:58
I don't agree with you there, they showed some oink with spots and we are meant to know who they are??? Young peeps into enders would not even have a blues clue who they were if they did not watch it since the 80/early 90's

I totally agree.. i was still saying "who is it?" even when they revealed the person ... I was even going to break my habit and come on to SB on friday to see who it was... fantastic EE keeping it a secret...

I disagree. The silence was much more effective and Ian's "can't be" - I'm glad Steven said nothing - makes it more eerie.

From what I read in digital spy, Jane is initially hostile towards Steven - rejecting his offer to help her in the cafe, brushing him off onto Kevin, rebuffing his attempt to comfort her next thursday biut next Friday when Steven alone is supposedly there for her though we know different, she cries on his shoulder. What i am wondering is, why is she initally hostile towards him? I mean surely she can't suspect though we know that he is responsible for Ian's disappearance and if she did she would tell the police, not cry on his shoulder.

will we ever find out where ian has gone?
Is he still in the flat?

I'm sure we will find out eventually.
I assume Ian's in that flat and his breakfast, lunch and dinner are those cream crackers!
Lizzie Brookes
28-09-2007, 10:28
Mmm I suppose. Surely even Steven wouldn't have killed him?
I thought at first Steven was holding him hostage but then I wondered why he would come back to Walford leaving Ian alone in that flat. I mean even if the doors were locked and bolted Ian could break a window and get out couldn't he?
On the other hand they wouldn't have Steven getting away with killing Ian so if he is indeed to be a long term charecter he wouldn't have killed him. Yet if Ian is alive why hasn't he ontacted Jane or the police? Former stepson or not, surely there is a line and Steven has crossed it?

Good God.
Well if Jane is the one to be shot - accidentally I suppose - then I think Steven oes to prison bt I'm confused as I heard the actor is staying long term and yet there is no way back for Steven from such disgrace.
Steven takes the twins out of school and takes them joy riding with Jane's car. Jane goes mad and tells Steven to leave and keep away from his brother and sister - later that night Lucy goes missing. Steven takes her to the flat were he is keeping Ian hostage and Lucy is over the moon to be reunited with her dad - she is later shocked when Steven pulls out a gun on them both. Lucy texts Jane who rushes to the flat and punches Steven as she bursts in. The gun drops and as Ian and Lucy both dive for it - it goes off. Who has been shot and will they survive?
From Inside Soap.
Odd as All About Soap says Steven shoots her but this seems to suggest either Lucy/Ian do.:hmm:

I thought Steven only pulled the gun out on them when Ian tried to ring the police. In a hostage situation - I may be wrong - but the last thing you do is call the police. This is because the captor either acts on the fear of being cornered and caught or on the belief that the person he or she is holding captive is dangerous. If a person locks you in a room and holds you captive, the best thing to do is to be submissive. In this case Ian (and Lucy) should do whatever Steven tells them to - surrender their mobiles to him, put their hands up and turn round slowly, or whatever. If the captive obeys the captor, does not become angry and makes no atte,pt to become a danger to the captor by ringing the police or trying to escape, there is a slim chance the captor will spare their life. If the captive is a danger to the captor then the captor would kill them or attempt to kill them anyway.
Look at the way in which lisa dealt with the situation when after Sharon left him Phil went mad and took Louise. Mark and pauline were angry and wantedto call the police but Lisa was gentle and patient with Phil and he gave her bck Louise. It is a real shame people in EastEnders do not think.
Thanks for the spoilers by the way. I think its a shame if they keep Aaron only for this small storyline - I mean it is such a waste. He has real acting potential.

Does anyone know what happens to Steven at the end of next week then?
I do want him to pay some kind of penance for what hehas done to Ian. As Jane is the one to be injured when the gun accidentaly goes off I assumed Steven wen to psychiatric prison but it can't be if Aaron has signed a 6 month contract. I suppose as he didn't mean/intend to kill anyone and the gunshot was ccidental and f he repents, he could just about get away with an offical police warning which would also square with the actor staying long term.

ian starts telling the emergancy service about what happened at the flat before he can tell them that steven was the gunman lucy comes up with a story and tells the police that a mugger wanted ian's wallet and shot jane in the struggle! lucy starts off with the lie and ian is forced to go along with it!
anyway to cut a long story short ian puts steven in a private psychiatric clinic! source: 'whats on tv' magazine

I'm glad. I didn't want him to go to prison. He's ill not evil and he would have a complete mental breakdown in prison. Despite feeling angry with him for the chaos he has caused I was sorry for him when he struggled to tell Lucy what was going on tonight.
