The Star says a TV soap chapter is closing with Eastenders stalwart Ian Beale being written out of the programme. Plus he gets one million pounds for his exit.

You know, I've heard this rumor already on the web and I'm just not to sure about it. I mean he's been on the show since the start and I doubt he'll be able to do much with his career now, unless he just wants to retire.

This was on Digital Spy

The BBC today categorically denied a claim in a Sunday newspaper that the only remaining original EastEnders cast member would be killed off next month.

The Daily Star on Sunday suggested that veteran Walford actor Adam Woodyatt – who plays chippy owner Ian Beale – has filmed his final scenes for an episode which is to air at the end of next month.

The episode in question will involve the biggest stunt the BBC soap has ever seen and viewers will be left on the edge of their seats as to the outcome.

The story claimed that two endings to the ongoing Mitchell-Beale feud have been filmed – one where Ian dies and the other where he survives.

A spokesperson for the soap, however, told DS: "We don't comment on future storylines but Adam Woodyatt is definitely not leaving the show."

This is the second time that programme makers have denied claims that Woodyatt would be leaving – the first being only a month after Wendy Richard sensationally quit the Square at the end of last year.

Would be really sad to see him leave - even though the Ian Beale character is a real hateable man. Perhaps that's why I would hate to see him leave

Is he is he not? that is the question.

As much as I dislike him at times, I think I'd miss the little turd if he was gone.

I would miss him because it is a good character. And for all of his faults he does have his good moments.

All of Ian's irritating little foibles comes from the fact that he is very insecure and feels he has something to prove. I honestly think that if both he and Phil weren't as stubborn as they were they would get on quite well. They're both pretty underhanded when needed, the put a lot of stock in the importance of family and they just can't seem to win with women!

You make some good points Sky. And if think if Ian and Jane would just get married already, that would be a good thing. She's been a good influence on him. Since his kids are getting older now, it would be nice to see their storylines deveop a bit more, especially with Jane being their "mother".

I agree.

They are obviously starting to turn Lucy into a little madam or at least a little Cindy. I have a feeling she and Jay are going to get closer and I wouldn't be surprised if we see another teen pregnancy on the square!
