This was in the daily star and the daily express, and it's been said that they've filmed 2 endings, one where he doesn't die, with only a handful of people knowing the final outcome.
While I make no bones about my dislike for soaps and certain characters in them Ian being one of them. The blame has to lie with the writers. Time and time again we have heard that chracters are being written out of a progammes because the excuse is the writers have taken the character as far as they can go. "funny how the writers of corrie can give Ken Barlow over 40 years of dialog and EE provide Dot with over 20 years but not provied Ian with anything other than having his head shoved down the loo or the mitchell beating the living daylights out of him.Quote:

I'm sorry but Adam's character Ian is not one of my favourite actors but in his defence he deserves better and its time they pulled their fingure out of their bums and give the viewers the programmes they pay for and deserve. At the end of the day do EE really believe that the likes of Stacy, Carly and sean are going to be gracing our screens in 20 years time. I think not. So it's high mighty time they delivered the goods and if Adam does decied to leave EE I wish im all the best and may his career flourish.
Although I agree with those sentiments, Ian is not in his 40s...is he? He was about 15 or 16 when Eastenders started 22 years ago wasn't he?Quote:

Isn't a saveloy a sausage :lol:. That would just be sad and weird :p.Quote:
Ian Beale will die in some way connected to an arguement with Phil over a saveloy
Hmm, I hate to admit it, but I like Ian lol. :o *Hides from everyone :lol:*. I hate the Phil/Ian feud, but I do like Ian.Quote:
its not like anyone like hes character, or that he's given any decent storylines.
I like Ian/Adam too. He is a much better actor than the Beetroot DoggerQuote:

So you're not alone, CrazyLea.:)
I'm the same. Ian/Adam is great, the Mitchells are old hat, stale, and counterproductive.
Especially Peggy , Fill and Gwant yet the beeb continues to spend huge sums bringing them back each time Phill goes dooging, Gwant goes off to save the world or the poison dwarf goe in search of a new toyboy loverQuote:

I highly doubt that :rolleyes: when was the last time 'viewers were on the edge of their seats' watching Eastenders? i know i haven't been for at least a year, maybe more.Quote:

maybe we should start a pitition to get ee killed off and not just weasle beale, i cannot stand the show anymore
Oh I wouldn't go that far yet Rach. If they can just employ some half decent storyliners instead of all this OTT nonsense, the show would probably bounce back soon enough.
.. Or/and some decent actors. Seriously.. get rid of; Dawn, Naomi, Gus, Ben, Preeti, Chelsea, Deano, Peggy, Phil and probably more. :searchme:.
they need a complete clear out, there are so many characters i dont give a monkeys about anymoreQuote:

I agree totally with both of you, although I can't stand Kevin Wicks myself.
Ian himself is a great example of badly used talent. Adam Woodyatt is worthy of so much more.
Appernetly its not true, accoreding to Inside soap. They reported this morning that EEs longest serving cast member would not be killed off.
EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt has signed a new £320,000 contract with the BBC soap.
The actor, who plays Ian Beale, will now stay on the show for at least another year. News of Adam's new deal comes after producers denied a tabloid report claiming that Ian would be killed off earlier this month.
An insider told The Mirror: "Adam is the last man standing from the starting lineup and there's always the possibility that he might go and do something else after 22 years in Albert Square.
"However, he's got some brilliant storylines coming up and he's decided now is not the time for a departure. Everyone is thrilled he's staying."
Im soooo pleased Adam is staying. I like the Beales family and think there is a lot of scope there for some good future storylines (fingers crossed anyhow)! :)
I personally don't see the point in him anymore. He's about as useful as Gus these days.
Beetrootman needs someone to bully. Seriously though Adam is a good actor and deserves to stay but needs better storylines. He is far superior to some of the new alleged talentQuote:

£320,000?! You could have fooled me into thinking that this was April Fools. I don't like him with decent storylines - he's too busy having a feud with Phil because of the background for my liking. That sum of money shows how desperate they are, because he's the only original left.
what a shame i was hoping him and Phil would die or leave
Adam is a great actor and I'm glad they've kept him in EE (even though I don't watch any more) Its the scriptwriters that should be slated, not the actors (or at least not Adam) He can only act out to the best of his ability the daft storylines, like the continuing feud :rolleyes: that are given to him. I hope they make it more worth his while and give him something more meaty.
EASTENDER Ian Beale has the most valuable house in soapland, say property experts.
His four-bed semi-detached with loft conversion in TV’s Walford would be worth £597,233.
Neighbours the Trueman family (£587,337) and the Wicks’s home (£502,391) make up the top three with their proximity to the Queen Vic pub, market and Tube station.
Property valuation website Zoopla matched the four main TV soaps’ locations to real life areas.
EastEnders’ Walford (equivalent to Walthamstow, East London) has top average house prices at £439,785. Emmerdale (Esholt, Yorkshire Dales) was next at £229,207 while Hollyoaks (Chester) was £193,698.
Coronation Street (Salford, Gtr Manchester) came last with £96,341.
EastEnders saw rises of around 25 per cent in the past three years, but they have fallen three per cent since February.
From The Sun
So Kevin and Sally's valuation at £98,000 wasn't unrealistic then, I thought it seemed too low when I watched it.
I'd love to live in a village like Emmerdale!
that sounds about right! Its weird seeing house valuations. Makes it seem really real.
Thats sounds crazy, isnt the Beales house the old Fowlers house? I always thought that looked fairly small, my house isnt worth that much and its slightly bigger!
i thought it only had 3 bedrooms?
it depends where in the country you live as well, london is really expensive to live in therefore the houseprices are more expensive than they are in other parts of the countryQuote:

Yes. London is ridiculously expensive.
I never understood how Gus could afford a two bedroomed flat on a road-sweeper's salary and still have enough money left over to regularly go drinking and clubbing. Same with Shirley, she's just a part-time barmaid!
Shocking house prices in London, my uncle lives there and can only afford a flat.
Ian Beale faces financial ruin when his business empire is hit by the credit crunch.
To prove even Walford cannot escape the world’s financial crisis, whining Ian will be forced to tighten his belt or risk losing everything he has worked for.
Ian (Adam Woodyatt, 40) has a number of businesses, including the Square’s café, and a string of properties he rents out.
But in the coming weeks he will struggle to fill his luxury flats, giving him a massive cashflow crisis.
He is even forced to consider cancelling Christmas because he cannot afford to buy presents for his children and wife Jane (Laurie Brett, 38).
Desperate Ian also starts charging café customers and staff to use the toilet in a desperate bid to get the cash flowing again.
A show insider said: “Ian knows he needs to make every penny count or he’ll be ruined.”
