What happened to Ian Beale on EastEnders? What we know so far and what's to come

Ever since Cindy Beale (played by Michelle Collins) was revealed to be hiding away in France under witness protection program, fans are eagerly waiting for her return to EastEnders. Cindy left Walford in 1998 after she attempted to have her husband, Ian Beale (played by Adam Woodyatt) murdered in order to gain custody of their children. But in November of that year, Ian was told that Cindy had died behind bars giving birth to Cindy Williams (Mimi Keene).

Charna Flam Eva Maria Daniels, producer of independent features “Reality,” “What Maisie Knew” and “Joe Bell,” died on Friday, June 30 in London, after battling cancer. She was 43. Throughout her career, Daniels maintained longstanding partnerships with producer Riva Marke and A24, worked as a producer for The Mill and Company 3 and served as a consultant for the Icelandic Film Fund. “Eva died on the same terms as she lived. She played her cards close to her chest. She didn’t seek recognition when she had success. She didn’t seek pity when she suffered. I will miss her friendship greatly, but mostly I will miss seeing what she would have done next,” wrote director Börkur Sigthorsson on Facebook.
