It has been an eventful seven days in Walford, and this week’s episodes are highlighting the complete fallout from the special episodes that aired last week. One character that is feeling the strain more than most is Ian Beale. He was the guilty party in the death of Dennis Rickman in last week’s devastating closing scenes.
Ian left Dennis in the closet on the lower deck. He locked him in the room after learning about his part in the bullying of his son. But, Ian will be riddled with guilt this week as he struggles to come to terms with the fact that he was the man responsible for the death, and could be looking at prison time.
