Cindy Beale's shock return to EastEnders has now seen two other iconic characters make their own 'secret' comebacks to the BBC soap, as fans went wild for Lauren Branning and Peter Beale's appearance on Thursday night.
It's been quite a week for EastEnders fans; while Cindy's appearance was ruined by a national tabloid, who leaked details of her return, viewers had no idea that Ian Beale was also coming back, until actor Adam Woodyatt was pictured alongside Cindy actress Michelle Collins in images shared by the BBC as credits rolled on Wednesday night.
Cindy's comeback was confirmed in the final scene of the episode, but, it wasn't until Thursday evening that EastEnders fans got a clearer picture of what Cindy was up to now, having been led to believe that she passed away during childbirth in prison, back in 1998.
