The attacker will strike after Ian manages to make even more enemies in the Square by ruining Rainie’s surrogacy hopes, blackmailing Max and infuriating Ben.

After a disastrous Lucy Beale Award night, viewers will see Ian lying motionless on the floor of the pub.

Who is the attacker?

Soap bosses have assured fans there’ll be ‘vengeance and betrayal’ this Christmas as the aftermath of Ian Beale’s attack rocks the Square.

An EastEnders spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: “Deck the halls with vengeance and betrayal this Christmas as the residents of Albert Square face a dark and stormy festive season once again.

“Revenge is a dish best served cold and unfortunately for Ian, it comes by the barrel load in the lead up to Christmas when he is attacked and left for dead, in The Queen Vic.

“With enemies everywhere, has the most-hated man in Albert Square finally pushed it too far? The fallout of the attack will see Walford in turmoil throughout the festive season with many residents suspicious of dealing the brutal blow and desperate to cover their tracks.”

The dramatic plot will facilitate a temporary exit for Ian in 2021 as actor Adam Woodyatt prepares to star in the stage production of Looking Good Dead.
