There is a crunch, and Kathy asks if he has hit something; however, Ian tells her it was just some bins and drives off. Little does he know that he has knocked down little Jordan, who has run away from the wedding after Chelsea shouted, and he is now lying lifeless on the floor. With no one aware that Jordan is missing, let alone hurt, things don’t look good for the 4-year-old. And fans aren’t happy!

They cannot do that to Jordan on the same night Denise finds out she has cancer. That’s too much for one family. Nope,” complained one viewer on Reddit. Another agreed: “Totally! It was a horrible ending. Really brutal, no lead-up, nothing – just Jordan laid out on the ground.” “Oh, Jordan, poor kid. I hope he will be alright. Chelsea is never gonna forgive herself,” said a third fan. Meanwhile, other fans believe Jordan’s accident could pave the way for Gray’s return… “Now we know why Gray comes back. Jordan must need a transplant, and Gray is the only one who can help,” predicted one viewer. “Or, what if Ian has killed Jordan… which prompts the return of Gray?” said a second fan. At the same time, someone else agreed: “Yes! Jordan must die, and that’s why Gray comes back.” Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
