Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt)

[Debs]

I hadnt heard he was leaving!

Although daily star arent always a very reliable source!

[Carlyyy.maytee]

It was on the front of the Daily Star this morning with the headline "Ian's a Dead Ender" so it may be true! I can't believe it if it is true though, it'll be the last of the original characters gone! If he is leaving, i do hope he gets a better exit than Pauline did.

Pauline did get a bad exit she should have got a better one because she had been in the soap for ages.

Ian beale is annoying though.

To be honest I don't think i'd be too bothered if he did leave I mean he doesn't exactly do much these days does he. The last time he was properly watchable was probably when he was with Mel or Laura. He's gone a bit boring these past few years. I like him with Jane but its not exactly gripping stuff when they're on screen together is it If they hadn't of been stupid enough to kill off Cindy then they could have brought her back one day to spice things up. Too late now though

Well if he does go i wonder what will happen to Jane and the kids as i think they have a lot of potential to do well.

Daily Star says it all, weren't they the ones that reported that Ben was going to burn down the Queen Vic?

To be honest I wouldn't care if Ian left, so what if hes the longest serving cast member, its not like anyone like hes character, or that he's given any decent storylines. They are just re-using this Phil/Ian feud which has run out of full and is a mockery of it's formal self, they are middle aged men with children to look after, they should be droppping this petty feud now. Ian has never appealed to me and never will, so why not kill him off - saying that Phil would get away scotch free knowing Walford's police force - the ones that never checked up on Sam when she fled to brazil, and if he got to trial he'd be found not guilty. Again.

That would be good if Ben burnt down the Queen Vic and Stella died

Oh my god, is he really leaving, I think it will be werid without me, even though he annoys the hell out of me

Taken from Digital Spy:

The BBC today categorically denied a claim in a Sunday newspaper that the only remaining original EastEnders cast member would be killed off next month.

The Daily Star on Sunday suggested that veteran Walford actor Adam Woodyatt – who plays chippy owner Ian Beale – has filmed his final scenes for an episode which is to air at the end of next month.

The episode in question will involve the biggest stunt the BBC soap has ever seen and viewers will be left on the edge of their seats as to the outcome.

The story claimed that two endings to the ongoing Mitchell-Beale feud have been filmed – one where Ian dies and the other where he survives.

A spokesperson for the soap, however, told DS: "We don't comment on future storylines but Adam Woodyatt is definitely not leaving the show."

This is the second time that programme makers have denied claims that Woodyatt would be leaving – the first being only a month after Wendy Richard sensationally quit the Square at the end of last year.

So it looks like it isn't true.

Does digital spy lie a lot?

Or something

[DaVeyWaVey]

No the article is from the BBC, so i doubt they would have lied. Digital Spy is just reporting what the BBC said, i think it is quite reliable.
