EastEnders drops huge hint about return of legendary character
EASTENDERS fans were left racing with excitement when a legendary character’s return was teased during the latest episode.
During a chat in The Vic on the BBC One soap, Kathy Beale (Gillian Talyforth) made the startling admission that she wanted her son, Ian (Adam Woddyatt), at her upcoming wedding.
Whilst the news of wanting her son present for her big day was left with moans and groans from her neighbours, she insisted that they must track him down in order for him to see her get married.
Kathy is currently in the throes of planning her wedding to Rocky Cotton, played by Brian Conley.
The mention has left viewers minds racing after The Sun exclusively revealed that Ian would be making a shock return to the show.
However, he will not be alone as presumed dead wife Cindy, played by Michelle Collins, will accompany him in a shock move.
It left Rocky pondering how they would get Ian back to Walford.
Writing online about Ian’s impending return, one fan said: “It looks like they’re going to detonate the Ian bomb.”
Another added: “Rocky will make it happen – getting Ian to the wedding.”
As a third said: “Ngl I think bringing back Ian is such a genius move; interacting with all the new characters on the square.”
Ian was last seen on screen very briefly in December when he attended Dot’s funeral before but hid from behind a bush so that he would not be spotted.
He also took a mystery phone call where he told someone he would ‘be back soon’.
Could it have been Cindy that he was speaking to all along?
Fans have been on tenterhooks for the huge soap returns and it seems that the BBC are closer than ever before after their latest hint.
