Sharon tries to kill Ian at her deadly dinner in EastEnders

Does Sharon kill Ian Beale?

Given that Ian is only set for a temporary exit in the coming weeks, it’s not looking like Sharon will manage to kill him off.

However, Letitia Dean – who plays Sharon in the BBC One soap – has revealed her character is hell-bent on getting revenge for Denny’s death: “She is completely driven at this point – not thinking of anything else – she just wants Ian gone.”

Speaking about Sharon’s motives, she continued: “Well I always knew that after what happened on the boat with Denny, that secret was never going to be forgotten, especially as there are such strong feelings involved,” she said. 

“After months of lies and leaning on her best friend whilst grieving – the one person that was there for her turned out to be the reason behind Sharon’s pain. 

“As far as Sharon’s concerned, Ian very much deserved it. It’s something of a lucky coincidence in Sharon’s eyes that Ian’s managed to provoke half the Square into a murderous rage at the same time – that certainly took the heat off of her and Phil whilst they were plotting!”

Might Sharon manage to do some pretty big damage ahead of Ian’s exit?

How did Sharon find out Ian killed Denny?

EastEnders fans were left baffled when it appeared Sharon hadn’t listened to her son’s voicemail following the Thames boat disaster – and realised Ian was responsible for her son’s death.

It then became apparent that the voicemail had been left on the Arches’ phone when Dotty stumbled upon the message on the garage business phone while looking for potential jobs. 

Sharon put on a great performance when Dotty revealed the truth about Ian, physically throwing her out of the pub and yelling at her. 

But it was revealed that Sharon had listened to the voicemail after all – and that she’d been plotting Ian’s death – as she served up a poisoned Christmas pudding to Ian over the festive season.

Is Ian Beale leaving?

It was confirmed back in August that Ian Beale will be taking a temporary break from EastEnders.

The news came as it was revealed actor Adam Woodyatt will star in stage show Looking Good Dead for six months during a break from soap.

Might Ian finally realise what Sharon is up to and do a runner before it’s too late?
