After more than 25 years away from Albert Square, EastEnders icon Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) is finally making an epic return to Walford with her on-again off-again husband, Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).
Up until now, the blonde beauty was thought to have died in prison back in 1998 after she ordered a hitman to kill Ian following a nasty custody battle for their kids.
Now, the feisty bombshell is back from the dead along with the former businessman and their son Peter after her witness protection order came to an end.

And it’s fair to say the fan-favourite is coming back with a bang, with fans of the BBC One soap desperate to see her reunite with a few familiar faces on the Square.
As she prepares to leave chaos in her wake, Daily Star has put the world’s most popular artificially intelligent “creative” tools Bard AI through its paces to find out what she will get up to following her return to East London.
Steamy affair

Loyal fans will remember Cindy and Ian’s relationship was full of affairs and fights before the pair decided to file for divorce in 1996.
And their messy divorce quickly went from bad to worse after she landed herself in prison pregnant with another man’s baby.
With her loved ones convinced that she had died during childbirth, the criminal managed to wiggled her way into witness protection under the name Rose where she met, married and had two kids with George Knight.
During the two and a half decades she was away from the Square, Cindy quickly grew tired of her family and abandoned then to start a new life in France with her son Peter and Ian.

After she was informed her witness protection order had come to an end, Cindy wasted no time in returning to Albert Square where she is sure to cause trouble once more.
When asked if she will rekindle her romance with George, the programme revealed her eye may wander to her former flame once again.
It suggested: “It is possible that Cindy Beale will have an affair with George Knight on EastEnders. Cindy is a feisty and unpredictable character who is not afraid to stir things up.
“George is also a complex character who is struggling with his own personal issues, and with their history, the pair could pick things up where they left off.”

Bard AI also predicted that the businesswoman will soon split from Ian Beale with rumours of a possible affair on the cards.
It pointed out: “It is possible that Cindy will break up with Ian when they return to Walford. Cindy has a history of being unfaithful, and she may not be happy with Ian.
“She may also be attracted to George, which could lead to an affair. Cindy may be forced to choose between her family with Ian and her family with George.”
Savage revenge

It’s fair to say her arrival to Walford isn’t necessarily a welcomed one, with the Cindy running into fierce enemies and burned lovers at every turn.
Arguably one of her greatest enemies on the street is none other than Ian’s mother Kathy Beale, who has been opposed to her son’s relationship with Cindy from the start.
In the 1990s, Kathy did everything in her power to break the pair up and even attempted to get Cindy arrested for theft.
However, Cindy isn’t the only resident on the street to have faked her own death, after Kathy was presumed dead after she was involved in a car accident back in 1998.

But Bard AI is convinced that Cindy will seek revenge on Kathy after reigniting their long history of bad blood on the street.
It argued: “It is possible that Cindy will get revenge on Kathy when she returns to EastEnders. Cindy has a long history of bad blood with Kathy, and she may not be able to let go of the past.
“Kathy has done a lot to hurt Cindy, and she may be looking for payback in a number of ways. She could try to ruin Kathy’s business, or she could spread rumours about her. She could even try to get Kathy arrested.”
Broken family

Fans are eager to see how the doting mum will react when she reunites with her estranged family in the Queen Vic after abandoning her daughters and husband all those years ago.
When asked how the Knight family will react to her arrival, the program suggested that the distant mother could cause more harm than good and even “tear the family apart”.

It explained: “It is possible that Cindy will tear the Knight family apart when she arrives in Walford on EastEnders.
“Cindy’s history with the family may cause a whole world of drama, and she is not afraid to stir things up. She could easily get involved in the Knight family’s affairs and cause a lot of trouble.”
It comes after Michelle teased that Cindy might find herself in a bit of trouble and vowed that there was no way she would be “coming back as a nun.”
