EastEnders' Cindy Beale back 'from the dead' on BBC soap as fans go wild

EastEnders fans went wild on Wednesday night, as Cindy Beale returned 'from the dead' in the final scene of the latest episode, 25 years after being killed off in an off screen death.

There has been a lot of speculation over the last week that the mysteriously missing Rose Knight, from Albert Square's new family could in fact by Ian Beale's ruthless ex wife, but it wasn't until the dying seconds that the rumours proved to be true. George Knight has been desperate to track Rose, the mother of his two daughters down, even enlisting the help of Walford veteran Phil Mitchell to help her.

In the last few minutes of Wednesday night's show, Phil told George that the Spanish police had no record of anyone with the name Rose Knight and, distraught and angry, he drowned his sorrows in the Queen Vic, putting Seal's 90s classic Kiss from a Rose on the jukebox as he dialled her number. He received no answer and that's when the camera cut to a woman looking at her phone and, after it panned away to show the lady in question sitting by a pool, it was revealed to be Cindy right at the death, as the EastEnders icon got ready to take a sip of wine.
