The leader of EastEnders is devastated and grieving over the death of yet another child.

In the latest episode of EastEnders, the iconic Ian Beale found himself completely shattered. His son, Bobby Beale, made the difficult decision to leave Albert Square after catching his girlfriend, Anna Knight, kissing his best friend, Freddie Slater. With a push from his stepmother Cindy Beale, Bobby decided to pack his bags and leave the Square for good.

However, this news didn't sit well with Ian. He was determined to do whatever it takes to convince Bobby to stay. His first step was to pay a visit to Freddie's house, where he shockingly fired him from his job at the chip shop. This caused quite a stir with the rest of the Slater family, who were horrified by Ian's actions. He then insisted that Freddie leave Walford, adding to the tension between the two families.

But Ian's efforts didn't stop there. He also went to the Queen Vic to confront Anna, only to run into Freddie once again. Ian couldn't hold back his anger as he berated Freddie for hurting Bobby. Anna appeared and pleaded with Ian to stop, but unfortunately, she became the target of his wrath as he demanded she convince Freddie to leave London. As Gina Knight, Anna's mother, tried to calm Ian down, he emotionally expressed his fear of losing another child. He had already lost his son Steven to a heart attack in 2017 and his daughter Lucy, who was murdered by Bobby in 2014.

Feeling alone and misunderstood, Ian turned to Cindy for comfort. She claimed to understand his pain, but Ian disagreed, pointing out that she was not there for Steven or Lucy's deaths and couldn't possibly know what he had been through. Anna apologized for her actions and promised to stay away from Bobby, but it was too late as Bobby had already left the Square.

Now the question remains, will Ian let go of his vendetta against Freddie and Anna, or will their tensions continue to rise in the upcoming weeks?
