Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt)

Oh good The aritcles are good atm

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.

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.

I agree about the Phil feud. I find it a complete turn off and very petty for two men in their 40s. The storylining is so so lazy, with Phil winning every time. It's like something out of a panto, but without the horse. It's all a bit After the Lord Mayor's Show.

That said, I rate Adam W very highly and would be gutted if he ever leaves (which I think he will eventually). He's the last link to the original EE, and EE are really thin on the ground for long-termers (just Dot, Pat, Ian and kids, Jim and the awful Mitchells left from the 20th Century). He just needs a decent storyline, and I hope the scriptwriters allow him to settle down with Jane.

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.

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?

Anyway, I think an argument over a saveloy would be great. It would bring a long needed touch of class to Eastenders...

[JustJodi]

Does digital spy lie a lot?

Or something

it is not always the most reliable source,why not look into it and see what you think ??? Oh I remember you do not watch EE on reg basis just ominibus once in a while,,,

Whoops, I forgot he was 16 when he started, and Ian was 14, so he's 36 now. Close though.

Well, it's a start....

[CrazyLea]

Ian Beale will die in some way connected to an arguement with Phil over a saveloy

Isn't a saveloy a sausage . That would just be sad and weird .

its not like anyone like hes character, or that he's given any decent storylines.

Hmm, I hate to admit it, but I like Ian lol. *Hides from everyone *. I hate the Phil/Ian feud, but I do like Ian.

I like Ian/Adam too. He is a much better actor than the Beetroot Dogger

[parkerman]

I like Ian too. I prefer both Adam the actor and Ian the character to Steve/Phil.

So you're not alone, CrazyLea.
