EastEnders fans fear Ian Beale will be killed off at Christmas after 39 years on the soap.
The soap legend is currently the longest-running character in the soap’s history. And it’s fair to say he’s had his fair share of drama in Walford.
Especially at the moment, as over in the famous square, fiancé Cindy Beale is currently having an affair with Junior Knight, her ex-husband, George’s son…
But with Christmas just around the corner, fans have a heartbreaking theory that Ian will die, following the discovery of Cindy’s affair.
EastEnders Cindy Beale cheating on Ian Beale
Cindy has been caught up in an affair with former stepson Junior since his arrival back in May. The pair have been at it like rabbits, causing plenty of drama and disaster.
Ian, oblivious to Cindy’s true colours, has since proposed to Cindy – which she accepted.
What’s more, just last week Kojo, Junior’s uncle, caught Cindy and Junior – he then ended up falling backwards off a staircase after a scuffle with Cindy who was trying to stop him from revealing all about her and Junior.
Cindy’s affair to be exposed on EastEnders
However, it’s been confirmed recently that Cindy and Junior’s affair will finally be exposed at Christmastime.
EastEnders fans will recall back in October, Cindy accidentally confessed her affair while speaking to David Wicks – something that was being recorded by Freddie Slater’s bird recorder. She also shared how despite sleeping with Junior, she was still in love with his dad George.
The tape will be played on Christmas Day – and no doubt all hell will break loose. But now, in a devastating twist, fans think the shock news could kill Ian Beale off.
