'Not the same man'
EastEnders fans have expressed their disappointment with the portrayal of iconic character Ian Beale since his return to Albert Square. Adam Woodyatt, who has been playing Ian since the show's launch in 1985, has recently reprised his role after an extended hiatus.
Reunited with past
Since his return, Ian has been reunited with his former wife Cindy, who was believed to have died over 20 years ago. However, some viewers feel that the storyline has left Ian disconnected from the square and his friends.
Fans speak out
Online comments from fans have highlighted their dissatisfaction with how Ian and Cindy's storyline has been handled since their return. Some feel that Ian has become a non-character, while Cindy has been overshadowed by her connection with her other ex-husband, George Knight.
Heartbreak ahead
Despite his complex relationships, Ian is set for heartbreak as he learns about Cindy's kiss with George Knight in upcoming scenes. The unresolved nature of Ian and Cindy's reconnection has left viewers feeling disengaged from their storyline.
EastEnders continues to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer for fans to follow the latest developments in Albert Square.
