I really hoped Ian was going to change and realise just how lucky he is to have Jane and stop being such a bitter and pathetic bloke and it is disappointing that he has reverted to type again. In the 90's Ian was bankrupt and begging Phil for money to bail him out. Ian is actually very unlikeable.
Same for Phil. Why can't he learn and change for the better after the Stella incident instead of the same old, same old. Its pathetic, grown men acting like children cos Phil's King of Walford crown is being threatened by Phil Hunter.
