The rivalry between EastEnders' Ian Beale and hotel owner Elaine Peacock has intensified, with Ian now aiming for a seat on the local council. Their feud, sparked by Elaine slandering Kathy's café, led to a cycle of revenge.
Elaine initially used illegal planning permission to bypass Councillor Barker, who was having an affair. However, Ian exposed Barker's affair, leading to his sacking and Elaine facing the consequences.
Adding personal drama, George Knight revealed he and Nicola Mitchell are expecting a baby, leaving Elaine embarrassed and fueling her anger towards Ian.
