BBC soap opera EastEnders ended with a shock cliffhanger on Wednesday, June 21 that saw Cindy Beale return from the ‘dead’. The character, who is played by Michelle Collins, was revealed to be Rose Knight - the long lost wife of new owner of The Queen Vic George Knight (Colin Salmon).
Following the episode, the BBC confirmed that both Michelle and Adam Woodyatt, who plays Cindy’s ex-husband Ian Beale, would be returning to the show. Despite making a very small cameo at Dot Cotton’s funeral, Ian last made a regular appearance in 2021.
EastEnders fans were gutted as Cindy ‘died’ off-screen whilst in childbirth back in 1998. Now people have an interesting theory as to why she has returned. Were you happy to see her back? Let us know in the comments.
