Cindy Beale's whereabouts for the past 25 years has finally been revealed on EastEnders tonight.
In a special 35 minute episode aired on BBC One this evening, it was confirmed that Cindy Beale has been alive all this time. Last thing we knew about Cindy – played by Michelle Collins – is that Ian was told she had died in childbirth whilst in prison.
She was serving a sentence for her part in the attempted murder of her own ex-husband Ian Beale, and she was carted off to prison to spend a significant amount of days there. Whilst viewers and Walford residents believed that was where it all ended for Cindy, when news reached them that she had died in prison, this was very far from the truth.
