Ian shocked by Bea’s fiery reaction to being dumped

One person in EastEnders that surely does not take rejection well is the unsettlingly unhinged Bea Pollard (Ronni Ancona)… as Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) is about to learn.

The bizarre bunny-boiler has developed an unhealthy fixation on Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton), worming her way into her and her husband  Billy’s (Perry Fenwick) home and manipulating them so she can stay under their roof. Worse still, she’s been funding her time on the Square by using a fraudulent credit card in Honey’s name.

During her time in Walford, Bea has also sparked up an unexpected romance with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), getting in the way of his spiky will-they won’t-they relationship with frenemy Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe).

She’s usethe money she defrauded from Honey to buy Ian drinks and charm him with dates, and has even helped him in his campaign battle against Harriet in the local council elections.

Unfortunately, Bea doesn’t play nice.

The deranged newcomer hatched an underhanded plan to launch a smear campaign video about Elaine to bolster Ian’s chances.

Although reluctantly allowing Bea to the post the video online, apparently there are some things even Ian Beale finds morally reprehensible and as soon as Elaine wished him luck, he suddenly had a change of heart.

Despite Ian’s best attempts to to delete that video, Elaine soon learns of the video’s existence from Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).

Cue a confrontation between a raging Elaine and a guilt-ridden Ian, who tried to reverse his smear campaign.

After Bea’s dirty tactics damaged his reputation, upcoming scenes of Eastenders will see Ian decide to call time on his relationship with his girlfriend… with explosive consequences.

Bea fusses around Ian , he’s Ian distracted to pay attention.
