Anna Knight gets huge news about mum Cindy Beale in EastEnders
THE Knights have agreed to leave George’s mystery wife aka Cindy Beale behind them out of fear of reopening old wounds.
Little do they know that Anna Knight started her own mission to find her and she finally gets big news next week in EastEnders.
The Walford newcomer portrayed by Molly Rainford first appeared in the BBC One soap shrouded in mystery with her sister Gina and father George.
Very quickly after their arrival, questions and concerns about George’s missing wife Rose began to circulate with Linda Carter speculating he may have hurt her.
But in recent scenes of the London-based drama, George found out through Phil Mitchell that his wife and mother of his two daughters who abruptly walked out on them nine years ago was never really who she’d claimed to be.
While the issue was swept under the rug, most notably as Gina suffered from her own demons, Anna Knight decided to search for her mother on her own.
However, her plans are under threat next week when the Knights are quick to question a disgruntled Gina (Francesca Henry) as Linda (Kellie Bright) reveals that there is £200 missing from The Vic takings.
Driven by her suspicions, Gina later discovers that Anna stole the cash to hire a private investigator to track down their mum.
A horrified Gina goes to reveal all to George (Colin Salmon), but she falters before Anna lies that she left the cash on the side whilst cashing up the night before and someone must have taken it.
Once alone, Gina gives Anna an ultimatum that it’s her or her mum.
But after a heart-to-heart with Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) and Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), Anna decides to go through with her decision to look for her mum.
Tensions rise between Anna and Gina in later scenes as she secretly meets with a private investigator to share information about their mum’s disappearance.
Sensing friction between his daughters, George traps Anna in her lie about the stolen money which forces Anna to reveal the true reason behind the missing £200.
George implores Anna to call off the search for fear she will get hurt before heading to the Boxing Den to find Gina letting off steam on the punching bag.
A guilty Anna later decides to call off the search for her mum, but her private detective calls and reveals he’s had a positive lead in his search.
What will he tell Anna?
Viewers of the long-running program were left with their jaws dropped when Rose Knight was not only revealed to be alive but was also unmasked as Albert Square villainess Cindy Beale.
Soap fans later found out the blonde bombshell, who had supposedly died in prison after giving birth to her daughter, had actually been taken into witness protection as her former cellmate began to make threats to her life.
