Valley's Kate Ford 'Ian may not recover'

Sunset valley's Kate Ford has spoken up about Ian's paranoia story line, stating that she reckons Ian may not recover so soon.
Viewers have see the much loved up couple fall apart as Ian Jones fears his and his family's safety as Jim goes missing, and as the question over who killed Harry resonates through the valley. Kate Ford on the story line states..
"Ian isn't quite all there. He's living in his head that's full of fear and past traumas - that all start to show up. Ian is also very reactive and impulsive which is why he felt threatened by Laura. He needs physiological help".
Kate continues " It's a really interesting story line that's never been spoken about on Sunsetvalley. It's a journey, that's going to lead to some interesting stories. Becca and Steve don't feel comfortable with Amy is Tracey and Ian's hands, and that's going to come to the fore sooner or later. Ian needs to start to look after himself let alone his children"
On what viewers can expect from the couple later this year, Kate says " I'm so excited with the Summer and Autumn story-lines for the Jones. Its very different and it explores their relationship and Ian's mental state further. I'm really happy to be getting some juicy story-lines. Its not the same across all actors. The cast is quite big, and a lot of story-lines have been pushed right back, so some characters are making their 2021 return much later".
