There’s been no shortage of tension between Ian and Elaine in recent weeks on EastEnders, with the pair constantly clashing over who should become Walford’s next councillor.
But after weeks of trading insults and trying to sabotage each other’s campaigns, viewers finally saw sparks fly between the rivals in tonight’s episode.

Ian won the council election
Today’s EastEnders saw Ian and Elaine fighting it out at the polling station. As Walford residents cast their votes, the pair waited with bated breath to see who would be crowned the winner. But while Elaine tried to put on a brave face after Ian and Bea’s smear campaign video, Ian was doing his best to try to make amends.
In a bid to show Elaine how sorry he was, Ian made another video, retracting his previous claims. However, it was too little too late for Elaine, and she told Ian just how hurt she was by his actions.
Even Linda couldn’t help but have a dig at Ian. She laid into him for upsetting Elaine, but Elaine was more interested in finding out who her daughter had spent the night with the evening before.
Soon, the results were in, and Ian was crowned victorious. Although Elaine was gracious in defeat, Ian still felt awful for sabotaging her campaign and didn’t feel much like celebrating.
