And it seems she might have succeeded as next week’s episodes of EastEnders will see Kathy worried sick when she can’t find Ian.

What will Sharon say?

Later in the week, EastEnders has teased that Kathy storms over to Sharon and confronts her again.

Has Sharon murdered Ian and got rid of the body?

Sharon has been attempting to poison her new husband for days by slipping crushed pills into his food and drink.

With everyone starting to notice how ill Ian is and Sharon’s doubts increasing, Phil will promise to get her something stronger this week that’ll finish Ian off for good. 



Ian’s disappearance comes after Sharon makes a final attempt on his life

Sharon then organises a deadly dinner and lures Ian to the table by suggesting they finally consummate their marriage. 

Actress 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!”
