Ian Beale (played by Adam Woodyatt) has been part of the Walford community for the past 35 years and has been at the centre of some of the BBC One drama's most memorable storylines. These include the murder of his daughter Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater) and the Thames boat crash which resulted in the death of Denny Rickman (Bleu Landau). But he hasn't been in EastEnders since he discovered what Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) had been up to.
