OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Woodyatt fears ‘EastEnders’ might not want him to return to the soap.
The 53-year-old actor is on a break from the BBC One show to star in theatre production ‘Looking Good Dead’, but he has warned fans he may have already stepped foot in Albert Square for the final time.
Adam – who previously admitted he may not return until 2022 due to the play’s tour dates – said: “‘EastEnders’ might not want me back!
“We could get a new boss in who goes, ‘Beale’s gone, we don’t need him anymore.’ ”
The actor is the soap’s longest-serving cast member, having played the role since the first episode in 1985, and as a result Adam believes he would “still be part of the fabric” of the programme if he didn’t return to Walford.
He said: “I think even if I actually left, I’d still be part of the fabric.
“Ian will always be associated with the Square.
“People still talk about Den and Angie, and they haven’t been on the programme in 32 years, so I think I will always be there in people’s minds.”
While Adam enjoys playing Ian, he thinks the bumbling businessman is a “t***”.
Speaking about how chippie owner compares to his ‘Looking Good Dead’ character Tom Bryce, he told Metro newspaper: “Obviously there are similarities.
“In ‘Looking Good Dead’, Tom Bryce is a married man with kids, and he’s a businessman, but that’s where it ends.
“This character isn’t so much of a t***!
“You find me somebody who will describe Ian Beale in flattering terms.
“What I gave you was a very honest appraisal of his character.”
