Beale Watch, or lack thereof, has been on-going since Ian went for a hop after Mandy gave him the flick on their wedding day.
Since his departure, we've seen Lucy Beale get skinnier and her bottom lip get wibblier, while poor truant Bobby Beale's been shunted between Fatboy and Derek. So where is Ian Beale?
He's only been roaming the streets of inner city Landan, while sprouting a beard and licking his lips. No one's sure why he's opted to make himself homeless, apart from that hanging out with effluent swilling winos is a better option than lurking around Walford with his unnerving little brother (who's due to be killed off, you'll be thrilled to hear. Apparently it involves a car crash and a last gasp confession to Shirley).
In additional Enders news, Sharon bleedin' Watts is finally making a reappearance. In a storyline that hums of Charity Dingle, we get reacquainted with Lady No Neck during her ill-fated wedding. Oh, and she has a son that's the bulb off little Noah.
