EastEnders: ‘work out’ legend is being ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ off – with death just months away
EastEnders viewers are convinced all signs point to a Walford legend being ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ off early next year for the BBC soap's 40th anniversary, after recent health woes
There could be devastating scenes on EastEnders within the next couple of months, judging by a new fan theory.
Viewers are convinced a BBC soap legend is about to be ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ off for the show’s 40th anniversary episodes. The show celebrates 40 years on air in February, and someone who has been in the show since the very first episode could be ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ off according to fans.
Recent episodes have heavily hinted at something shocking on the way for one Walford icon. Ian Beale, played by actor Adam Woodyatt, has been suffering from chest pains quite often over the past year.
In recent episodes he’s been stressed and suffering with his health once more, sparking concern with his family and soap viewers. With scenes this week revealing him to be suffering from chest pains once again with a hospital dash on the horizon, it could be bad news on the way.
With Ian checked over by a doctor at the hospital and told to take it easy, his mother Kathy Beale blames his partner Cindy Beale for all his issues. But fans can’t help but speculate the constant health issues could be a sign of a shock ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ahead.

Fans now believe that in the lead-up to the 40th Ian will be ᴋɪʟʟᴇᴅ off in major scenes. Taking to social media, one fan theorised: “40th prediction: Ian Beale is gonna drop dead of a heart attack.”
Another fan agreed: “I sort of assume Ian will ᴅɪᴇ as I can’t understand why he came back otherwise.” A third fan predicted: “I think it could be a possibility,” as a fourth viewer admitted: “Ian is gonna peg it, I think yeah.”
The comments kept on coming, with fans convinced they had rumbled a major 40th anniversary twist months before the episodes are set to air. One viewer shared their thoughts and said: “I think they will ᴋɪʟʟ off a legacy character for the 40th anniversary – Martin, Ian, or Phil.”
Based on the latest episode, another theory read: “All this speculation about Martin possibly ᴅʏɪɴɢ or leaving on or around the 40th but after today I think it could be Ian.” Ian is yet to find out his partner Cindy has betrayed him, with her having anᴀꜰꜰᴀɪʀ ᴡɪᴛʜ Junior Knight.
The shocking truth is set to explode at Christmas according to teasers. But could this lead to devastating scenes for Ian and the beale family, with a sad death?
