EastEnders: Who attacked Ian Beale?
The soap originally revealed eight official suspects for Ian’s attack but it has been slowly ruling them out.
So many of us have a theory that Sharon is behind Ian’s attack, especially after her agreeing to marry Ian after all that business of ‘we will only ever be friends’.
The suspects are Tina Carter, Max Branning, Suki Panesar, Ben Mitchell, Peter Beale, Bobby Beale, Rainie Cross and Stuart Highway.
But fans are convinced Ian’s new wife Sharon is responsible.
EastEnders fans think Sharon attacked Ian Beale
They think she discovered the truth about her son Denny’s death and plotted revenge with Dotty Cotton.
Writing on a Digital Spy forum, one fan said: “So many of us have a theory that Sharon is behind Ian’s attack, especially after her agreeing to marry Ian after all that business of ‘we will only ever be friends’.
“I would be shocked if Sharon didn’t have anything to do with it at this point. My theory is that she’s in on it with Dotty (who’s ‘gone off to Ireland’ – I feel like that scene was written in for a reason) and possibly one more person.

“I reckon Sharon ended up finding out the truth about Ian’s role in Denny’s death from Dotty and teamed up for revenge. Phil might have also been involved.
“I doubt Sharon would be the one to get her hands dirty – but I’m not sure if Dotty would either, maybe they hired a complete random to do it?
“The she’ll get Ian to sign over The Vic to her in some sort of blackmail.”
