An EastEnders favourite has returned in a huge twist.
During Monday’s (July 15), episode of the BBC One soap, which is available to watch on BBC iPlayer, Ian prepares to leave for his alleged leadership course under the disapproving glare of Peter Beale (Thomas Law).
Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) suspicions are piqued when she looks at the contents of his suitcase, and later questions Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) who she assumes is lying for her son.
Following Kathy’s advice, Cindy heads to Beale’s Eels to ask Ian if he’s having an affair but he reassures her he’s not. Later. Cindy makes another discovery that makes her think otherwise and she forces her ex George Knight (Colin Salmon) to drive her to a mysterious address in the Cotswolds.

Elsewhere, Peter begged Martin Fowler (James Bye) to borrow his van and chased after them – with Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) jumping in the back.
Arriving at a picturesque house, Cindy realised that she couldn’t face the prospect of Ian having an affair and asked George to turn around. She soon admitted that she sees Ian as a sense of security and never thought he’d ever betray her in the same way she recently did.
After building up the courage, she peered through the window and spotted a bottle of wine and two glasses on the coffee table. After slamming on the door, Ian eventually answered and she charged through the property.
In a truly iconic EastEnders moment, Cindy looked towards Jane and she introduced herself. and the huge return has sent fans into meltdown. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Wasn’t expecting to see Jane.” Another added: “As if Jane is back.” A third person wrote: “OMG Jane is back.”
Actress Laurie Brett made her debut as Jane back in 2004 and she hasn’t been seen in Albert Square for seven years but why is Ian meeting up with her, and what does this mean for the wider family? Is he having an affair?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
