EastEnders has confirmed when Ian Beale will return to Walford after being off screen for some time. Viewers will remember that Ian is behind bars<\/a> after accidentally hitting Jordan Fox with a car<\/a> following Ross Marshall and Vicki Fowler’s wedding.<\/p>\n

While in prison, he’s been at the centre of the Gray Atkins storyline as the villain drew him into his sinister plans. Things culminated last month in a scuffle that saw Ian stab Gray<\/a>, though the latter survived.<\/p>\n

We know that Kathy is helping Ian to appeal his sentence, with the new spoilers confirming he will be out of prison.<\/p>\n

The spoilers for early next month now reveal that Ian will be back in Albert Square on 7 October. However, he’s clearly struggling to open up about what he’s been through and gets some help from a new arrival.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the Square, Nicola continues in her struggles with Ned and attempts to wind her up, while Linda tells her family about Max, though her concerns are raised as she worries her family isn’t telling her everything.<\/p>\n
