It's hard to believe, but Ian has been a part of the show for a whopping twelve years! It's been quite a journey for him, and he's seen the show go through many changes during his time on it. Just this week, he revealed that the final scenes he shot for the beloved BBC soap have officially aired. As fans eagerly await the last episode, Ian took to social media to share his thoughts on the show's end.
For Ian, it's bittersweet to see the show come to a close. He's played the role of Dr. Al Haskey since 2012, and it's been a big part of his life ever since. The show's director, Niall Fraser, recently announced that the last episode will air on November 14th, which is a bit earlier than originally planned. There was a scheduled break with the final episode set to air on December 5th, but that was cancelled. Sorry for the confusion!
Filming for the show stopped in March at its production base on the University of Birmingham campus in Selly Oak. And word has it that the sets have already been removed and the site has been given back to the university. It's the end of an era for the show, but fans can look forward to one final episode next month.
Ian took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the show's end, saying it felt "weird" to see the episode air. He also mentioned that there may still be a podcast episode to come, but for him, this was it. It's the end of a long story arc for his character, the handsome doctor with the glasses and trainers. He signed off with a heartfelt "Much love. Haskey out."
Despite the show filming scenes out of order, we may not have seen the last of Ian as Dr. Al Haskey. He recently reunited with some of his former co-stars in Belfast, including Kia Pegg, Sarah Moyle, and Dido Miles. The group visited the Titanic Museum and also watched a production of "Yerma" at the Lyric Theatre, where Ian's partner Caoimhe Farren is an actress.
