Woodyatt left the soap to focus on Looking Good Dead, where he plays a leading role. The soap icon left last year and after his departure, he also appeared on I’m a Celebrity.
In an interview with Christine Lampard on Lorraine, Woodyatt addressed questions as to whether he would reprise his role as Ian Beale.
“It doesn’t matter what happens, I’m always going to be Ian Beale. He’s part of the country,” he added.
He didn’t confirm that he was going back to Albert Square, but he teased that “the door is open.”
“That door is open and lots of other doors are open!” he shared.
Since his exit, Woodyatt has been keeping himself busy. He returned to the stage and recently joined the production of The Lincoln Center Theater’s production of My Fair Lady.
The actor will play Alfred P Doolittle in the musical, which is scheduled to tour the UK and Ireland after it wraps up its West End run later in 2022.
Woodyatt explained that he decided to leave because his alter ego needed to go.
“Not me going, ‘I wanna leave’, or them saying, ‘You’re going’. That was the storyline,” he shared.
“They’ve got to come up with a storyline; they’ve got to ask me to go back. The timing has got to be right for me to go back because I don’t know what else I’m going to be doing,” he explained.
