Reason Behind Exit Of Ian Beale
Talking about Ian Beale in East Enders, he made an appearance for the very last time, leaving in the mid of the night after he found his wife, Sharon poisoning him. However, it’s not the first time. Previously as well, the actor took a break from the soap opera for quite some time. The reason at that time was his tour with the stage show, Looking Good Dead. Later, came up the Covid 19 pandemic. So, Adam got more time for relaxation.
Fans have been wondering if Adam Woodyatt is going to make a comeback in EastEnders. Well, that’s still kept under wraps. But, on the same hand, he has shared that he is no longer signed under the contract BBC. On this note, he said, “I am not in ‘EastEnders’! That is the honest answer. I am not in contract with the BBC so I can come and do it. I didn’t want to spoil the surprise, and so I have been keeping very quiet about it.”
There is a possibility that Ian may come back on EastEnders anytime in 2022, as shared by the actor himself. It all depends on his tour in Leinster. He said, “So if the tour carries on, I’m not going to be back on EastEnders until sometime 2022 at the earliest! Sorry!” Knowing about this, some of the EastEnders viewers have been complaining that the soap opera isn’t the same without him. What do you think about this?
