EastEnders fans have watched as long-term resident Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) has been left guilt stricken over the death of 13-year-old Dennis Rickman (Bleu Landau), after he drowned during the boat party tragedy. After finding out Denny was behind the religious abuse aimed at his son Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell), Ian saw red and after confronting the troublesome teenage about it, locked him below deck to show him who’s boss.
But what was meant to be a harmless lesson in morals, ended in tears as Denny didn’t make it ashore alive.
In the aftermath of his death, Ian has been hailed a hero for trying to save him at the last minute, which almost ended in him dying too.
But grief stricken Ian got the shock of his life when Dotty Cotton (Milly Zero) came across a voicemail from Denny on the night he died, after he rang his mum Sharon Mitchell (Leticia Dean), begging for help.
Now Dotty has him right where she wants him, she has been blackmailing Ian, telling him to get her The Arches which is currently opened by Ben Mitchell, or she’ll release the incriminating evidence.
