Steven's biological parents are Cindy Beale and Simon Wicks, and Ian Beale adopted him. Over time, Steven develops a hatred for Ian. The shooting incident happened in 2007, following a campaign of psychological torment orchestrated by Steven, which involved manipulating situations to exact revenge on Ian.
What happened to Steven after Jane's shooting on EastEnders?
After being freed from a psychiatric facility, Steven quits his medication and tries to kill himself with gasoline again. Jane forgives and reintegrates Steven into the family. However, Steven doesn't mend his ways. At the end of his 2007 storyline, he abducts Lucy at a train station, but Ian stops that from happening. Ian disowns him and expresses relief that he is not Steven's biological father.
When was Steven last seen on EastEnders?
Steven returned with his brother‘s ex-fiancé, Lauren, in 2016, after Bobby assaulted Jane. Steven seeks to reconcile with the family, but Ian refuses. Later, the plot gets murky as Steven develops a physical relationship with Lauren while having an affair with her sister, Abi.
To stop Lauren from moving to New Zealand, he lies about suffering from a brain tumor. Later, viewers see him attempting to kill Jane yet again at the command of Max by setting fire to the restaurant.
After saying that he would do anything Max Branning asked him to do to conceal the fact that he had been lying about his cancer, Steven falls into shocking circumstances.
Max told Steven that all he needed to do was create a fire in an apartment to evict some of his clients from his property. Max was successful in convincing Steven that Jane was attempting to get rid of him.
Consequently, Steven sets fire to Ian's restaurant, leaving Jane to suffer through the flames. Jane tries to stop him by telling him that Abi was pregnant. After some time, he changes his mind and goes all his way to save Jane.
Max, furious, fatally injures Steven by shoving him. Later, at the hospital, Steven apologizes to Abi before passing away. And this marked the end of Steven's story on EastEnders.
