Ian was seen walking down the side of a motorway in his pyjamas and is now expected to be off screen for around six weeks while Lucy and Phil try to look for him.
"I'm so overwhelmed by all your comments about last nights EE. Thank you. There are so many, Twitter won't let me download anymore!!" Woodyatt wrote on Twitter.
"It's taken nearly two hours to read them all. Great script from Simon Ashdown, direction from Ian White, and as ever our fantastic crews."
Viewers have also seen Ian struggle with financial pressures and the aftermath of Ben Mitchell's killer secret in recent weeks.
I am so happy that Ben is leaving. Too bad it wasn't before he killed Heather. That was about the worst story line EastEnders has done.
Ben is pure evil.

Even thouugh tis taken 20 years for me to like Adam, he is now my favourite character. The storyline of him walking down a motorway at the end of last friday's episode brought back memories of a horrid time involving a friend of mine.
im so glad Letitia Dean will come back to help Adam's character and THANK GOD BEN MITCHELL IS LEAVING.

I'm glad Adam has been given the chance to shine. It's been a long time since he was at the forefront of a decent storyline. He is such a good actor. Eastenders does breakdowns very well, Simon Ashdown in particular.

the reason you thought that was, that was no acting, he was told what else bens alter ego had been up to, and it just flipped him over the top. :D
