Well, I did have the subtitles on and Ian didn't say either Tom or Kelvin. I think it has to be Steven, because he is the only person outside Ian's immediate family who could know all the history and have access to the photos etc. Also he has the motive and it is consistent with his character. It wouldn't be a surprise if he were played by a different actor - EastEnders has often swapped actors, especially when the character is young, for example Janine Butcher. Watch the fireworks when he comes to stay!

Didn't Cindy have a son with some Italian bloke she was living with? Maybe it's him? Else I haven't got a clue.

The name Ian said was 'Tom'! Can't think where he comes from! Any ideas?

Steven always hated Ian after he found out that he wasn't really his son and he acted a lot like Lucy is acting now.

I reckon it's Steven who was always such a spoilt brat. I remember the storyline five years ago in which he was revealed to be the person sending poison pen letters to various people in the Square so I shouldn't be surprised if he was up to another evil trick.

Steven was the son Cindy passed off as Ian's but he was really Wickys'. He left a few years ago to be raised by his real dad. He was a little terror before he left so it'd kind of make sense.

Cindy & Simon Wicks' son. Ian brought him up with Cindy as his own then Steven found out Simon was his real dad and was last known to be living in New Zealand.

Steven is the illegitimate son of Cindy and Simon (Pat's son). He was living with Ian until a few years ago and left for New Zealand to live with Simon once he found out that he was his real father and not Ian. I hope that's cleared up your confusion. By the way, the person at the end of today's episode certainly wasn't Steven unless he is now being portrayed by a different actor!

I agree it's Steven. Steven is Cindy's eldest son, who for up until about the age of 13 thought Ian was his dad. He overheard Ian telling someone that he wasn't his even his son and demanded he go to see real dad Simon Wicks in New Zealand.

Steven is Cindy & Ian's first child but the real father was Simon Wicks now resident in N Zealand & Steven joined him over there some 5 years ago. I think the stalker is Steven-the song playing "nothing compares to you" was no 1 when Steven was first born.(may make sense?!)

I have watched it twice and it definitely sounded like Tom or Dom - which leaves me baffled as I have watched it since day one all those years ago and haven't a clue. Maybe its another looney employee who has worked for Ian for years but we have never seen...... or maybe I have forgotten like I didn't remember Cindy having another daughter called Cindy who was featured last week when Ian visited Gina!
