    BBC EastEnders return ‘sealed’ for soap favourite after 26 years

    Cindy Beale recently left Albert Square, but viewers are convinced she’s set to return to Walford – and will be bringing an old friend with herTVAngie Quinn19:53, 26 Feb 2025EastEnders icon Cindy Beale abruptly left Walford on Tuesday (February 25), but fans are convinced she will return with an old friend. After weeks of paranoia, scheming Cindy (Michelle Collins) now knows that her ex-mother-in-law Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) attacked her with a shovel on Christmas Day.Last week, Cindy shot her ex-husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) in the arm during a tense showdown before later pushing him into the path of Reiss Colwell’s (Jonny Freeman) speeding car on Bridge Street.Cindy’s split decision to push Ian sparked a tragic chain of events as Reiss crashed into The Queen Vic causing an explosion, which eventually led to the death of Ian’s cousin, Martin Fowler (James Bye).On Tuesday (February 26), Ian told Cindy that he would keep quiet about the events leading up to Martin’s death, if she didn’t expose Kathy’s crime.In response, Cindy shamelessly explained that Ian had been a bit light on his side of the deal before demanding he return her share of the money in their business account. Ian agreed but only if Cindy did another disappearing act from the Square immediately.EastEnders icon Cindy Beale abruptly left Walford on Tuesday(Image: More
