Cindy Beale lures Bobby to a fake date in cruel EastEnders plot
BOBBY Beale has been trying to prove to Cindy Beale that he has no malicious intentions, despite his murderous past.
But just as he gets closer to Anna Knight, the EastEnders villainess hatches a cruel plan. Could she try to get revenge for Lucy’s death?
Cindy Beale (played by Michelle Collins) has been very vocal about the hard feelings she harbours against her stepson Bobby (Clay Milner Russell).
Since her return to the Square, the blonde bombshell has thrown a plethora of attacks at the lad as she struggles to remain cordial due to him killing her daughter Lucy in 2014.
While she was urged to try and keep the peace, for her husband Ian and son Peter’s benefits, Cindy makes a huge decision in scenes due to air on BBC One.
It all begins when Peter (Thomas Law) helps Lauren and Penny Branning move into their new flat, as the once lovers toy with the idea of restarting their relationship.
After Cindy intercepts Peter and Ian’s (Adam Woodyatt) conversation on the matter, she finds Lauren and encourages her to rethink a relationship with Peter, wanting to protect her son from future heartbreak.
But while she’s trying to contribute to Peter’s happiness, Cindy attempts to sabotage Bobby’s own well-being.
In later scenes, Cindy is rattled to learn that Bobby and another one of her daughters, Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) are going out on a date.
She is then relieved to discover that the date hasn’t gone to plan.
However, this prompts Ian to step in at the eleventh hour to help the young lovers, despite his wife still having her reservations.
Cindy fails to hold back as she tells Bobby he’s not good enough to date Anna, which horrifies Ian and Peter.
Ian attempts to play matchmaker and makes a reservation for them both at Walford East.
Unfortunately, Bobby gets the shock of his life when he sees Cindy showing up to his table.
What will she do?
Viewers of the London-based program have been expecting Cindy to act out against Bobby to get payback over Lucy’s murder.
But while Cindy may believe that Anna is in danger, she has no clue that her other daughter, Gina, could running the risk of harm as she grows closer to Dean Wicks.
What’s in store for Cindy and her daughters?
Could she really get rid of Bobby?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
