EastEnders spoiler pictures: Ian Beale realises Nick Cotton is alive
By Sophie Dainty
EastEnders villain Nick Cotton could find his secret exposed next month when Ian Beale spots him and realises he is alive.
With the majority of Walford residents still believing that Dot Branning's son is dead, Nick (John Altman) is growing increasingly bored and frustrated as he remains stuck indoors.
Deciding he can no longer stay inside, Nick leaves the house despite warnings from Yvonne. As Yvonne goes after him, the pair start to bond again as they reminisce about old times.
However, whilst admiring some jewellery on a stall, Yvonne's fears set in once again and she panics that Nick will be spotted.
Yvonne's fears become a reality later on when a horrified Ian sees Nick and rushes over to see if it is really him. Is Nick's secret about to be exposed?
Later, rattled by a number of recent events, Ian goes to visit Phil Mitchell and Sharon Rickman just as they are enjoying some alone time - with Sharon dressed in a sexy Christmas outfit. What will he have to say?
EastEnders airs these scenes on Thursday, December 11 on BBC One.
