First appearance:
19th February 1985
Address:
45 Albert Square
Occupation:
Restauranteur

Ian's been everything from a loan shark to a property tycoon. Thankfully the fish and chip shop, fruit and veg stall, cafe and Beale's have seen him through the recession.

A long timer on The Square, Ian has pretty much seen it all (and been through it all). Death threats, breakdowns, marriages, divorces and most recently Lucy's death.
