It’s more than 25 years since EastEnders fans watched in horror as Cindy Beale hired a hitman to bump off her hapless husband Ian Beale. But now she’s back from the dead – and Ian is by her side.
Last night, viewers saw Michelle Collins burst on to the screen for the first time since 1998, when she was carted off to prison for attempted murder.
Not only is Cindy back, but she’s also been revealed as ‘Rose’ – the absent wife of new Queen Vic manager George Knight, played by Colin Salmon.
