EastEnders confirms exact date and details of Cindy Beale’s explosive Walford return
EASTENDERS has finally confirmed the exact date for Cindy Beale’s explosive return to Walford.
The character returned to the soap earlier this summer as Michelle Collins reprised her role after 25 years.
In the last few moments of the episode, viewers watched her lounging by a pool ignoring a call from her ex George Knight.
It was revealed in the episode that George’s missing wife Rose was not in fact missing – and instead had just disappeared having never really existed.
Cindy has been living in Italy with Ian Beale, with the pair reunited and back together.
Viewers also learned she adopted the name Rose after being placed in witness protection.
And now soap bosses have confirmed exactly when Cindy will make her highly anticipated return to Walford.
A major week in the BBC One soap will kick off on Monday, August 28th which will feature Cindy’s arrival in Albert Square.
Cindy first appeared on EastEnders in 1988 and dated barman Simon Wicks (played by Nick Berry) before starting a relationship with Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and marrying him in 1989.
The marriage soon hit trouble and she had a fling with Richard Cole (Ian Reddington), who claimed to be the father of her and Ian’s twins — Lucy and Peter.
She was written out in a plot which saw her hire a hitman to kill husband Ian Beale, then changed her mind too late.
