EastEnders fans baffled as they spot former Corrie star on BBC soap

Cindy Beale may only have just returned to EastEnders, but fans are convinced they may have already rumbled a possible revenge plot against Bobby Beale, who famously killed her daughter Lucy Beale almost 10 years ago. Fans at home were convinced Cindy was “playing the long game” during Thursday’s (31 August) visit to Walford, when her mannerisms and attitude towards Bobby Beale left viewers convinced there was a twist on the way.

EastEnders fans are heartbroken for Bobby Beale after Anna Knight and Freddie Slater shared a passionate moment in Wednesday, 30 August's, episode. Since the Knights arrived in Walford, young Bobby has been smitten with Anna, and just last week, he told her how he felt, and the couple shared a sweet kiss. However, during tonight's episode, Bobby suffered a blow as he discovered that Cindy Beale was back in town and she would know that he killed her daughter Lucy.

EastEnders fans are predicting yet more heartbreak for Cindy Beale and the Knight family, as a possible death twist for Gina Knight was teased in Wednesday's (30 August) episode. In a dramatic turn of events, Gina collapsed from a drug overdose while partying in Peggy's.

EastEnders fans have been left convinced that much-loved character Fatboy didn't actually die in 2015, after he made his return to the soap. Arthur 'Fatboy' Chubb, played by Ricky Norwood, was killed in 2015 after being tragically crushed in a car. Fatboy's death came after Ronnie Mitchell arranged for her arch-nemesis Vincent Hubbard to be killed, however, Fatboy ended up in the boot of the car that was crushed instead.

Fans of EastEnders were left confused after spotting Phil Mitchell's bizarre reaction to seeing Ian Beale return to Albert Square. Ian, played by Adam Woodyatt, left the square two and a half years ago, but in explosive scenes this week, he returned with his ex-wife, Cindy Beale - whom everyone believed to be dead.

EastEnders fans have been left astounded at actress Michelle Collins' real age, as one labelled her 'fabulous'.The 61 year old actress recently made her return to EastEnders after 25 years, reprising her role as Cindy Beale - the ex wife of Ian Beale [Adam Woodyatt], who was believed to be dead. Michelle recently appeared on BBC's The One Show, where she discussed her return to the show that made her a household name. She looked gorgeous in a black blazer, and trousers with a camisole underneath, whilst she accessorised with gold earrings and a necklace.

EastEnders fans have accused the show of turning into a sci-fi series, with recent episodes containing flashbacks and flashforwards. Earlier this year, the long-running soap began dropping hints in regards to its dramatic Christmas storyline, with a flash-forward revealing that one character will die tragically this festive season. And now Cindy Beale's return has led to a number of recent episodes containing flashbacks, revealing what she's been doing the last 25 years, including abandoning her new family the Knights.

EastEnders fans have come to expect the unexpected following the return of Cindy Beale, but they have been stunned by a second character coming back from the dead.The popular character Fatboy Chubb, played by Ricky Norwood, has returned to the soap for a one-off special flashback episode. Cindy Beale appeared back in Alberty Square on Monday, 28 August, and came face to face with George Knight, who knows her as Rose. During tonight's episode, viewers will finally find out the truth as Cindy attempts to explain to George why she left him and their daughters behind.

Cindy Beale has returned to EastEnders with a bang, as she clashed with Kathy Beale almost instantly in explosive scenes that aired on Monday night.The Walford residents assumed that Cindy died during childbirth, but she has actually been in witness protection now that has ended, she has made her way back to the Square for the first time in 25 years. After her son Peter made his way to Walford, Cindy decided to go after him, and the first place she visited was her daughter Lucy Beale's grave.

EastEnders fans think they have worked out why Cindy Beale abandoned the Knight family after they spotted a clue in the "timeline". Cindy is returning to the Square this week for the first time in 25 years, and the locals think that she is dead. However, she didn't die, something happened while she was in prison, and she was put into witness protection for her safety.

EastEnders fans have shared their fears for the safety of Walford staple Stacey Slater this week, after her stalker Theo Hawthorne’s obsessive behaviour took an even darker turn. As regular viewers will know, Theo has secretly been paying Stacey for her work as a cam girl and attempted to insert himself into her life as a means to get closer to her.

As EastEnders fans prepare to welcome Cindy Beale back to Walford in the coming days, one question that continues to be on everyone’s mind, is what exactly prompted Cindy to walk out on George Knight and their two daughters, Anna and Gina? So far, very little information has been released about the circumstances surrounding Cindy’s decision to walk out on her family, particularly given how fiercely protective she was previously shown to be of her other children. According to George, Cindy simply packed her bags and left one night without saying goodbye and has deliberately evaded contact with her daughters ever since - but fans at home aren’t convinced George is being completely honest about what happened.

Since first being introduced to EastEnders fans all the way back in 2009, Lily Slater has fast become a fan favourite as viewers at home have watched the youngster grow up before their very eyes. Most recently, the twelve year old daughter of Stacey Slater has shocked fans with a teenage pregnancy storyline, with the initial mystery surrounding the baby’s father - and her decision to keep the baby - keeping viewers on the very edge of their seats.

EastEnders fans are convinced they may have ‘rumbled’ a shocking act of revenge in the coming weeks, as Walford icon Cindy Beale prepares to retune to the soap. As regular viewers will know, Cindy Beale will be returning to Albert Square imminently, despite previously being presumed dead by her loved ones.

EastEnders fans are unhappy as the soap has a schedule shake-up this week. Instead of airing four half-hour episodes Monday to Thursday, the BBC soap will be on for an hour on Tuesday and Thursday this week.The episodes will be split into two separate half-hour episodes and air at 7pm instead of the usual 7:30pm slot.

EastEnders fans have labelled newcomer Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis) "pure evil" amid his continued obsession with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner). Following Thursday night's episode, 17 August, fans took to social media in uproar after Theo convinced Stacey to kick Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) out of the Slater family home after she destroyed the kitchen in a drunken rage after coming face-to-face with the woman who killed her twin sister. In subsequent scenes, Theo suggested that it may be unsafe for Eve to be around 12-year-old Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) and her soon-to-be-born baby.

EastEnders fans have all been saying the same thing this week, as writers of the show appear to have forgotten about a huge health condition that previously affected fan favourite Alfie Moon. As regular viewers will know, Alfie previously suffered from a brain tumour, which required him to undergo surgery in 2017 after suffering from hallucinations, headaches and of course dizziness.Thankfully, despite nearly dying on the operating table, Alfie survived the procedure and made a full recovery - but fans couldn’t help but notice how it hadn’t been mentioned once, either by Alfie or his doctor, when he was warned he may be suffering from prostate cancer on Tuesday night’s episode, 15 August.

EastEnders fans are convinced they may have rumbled a huge Christmas plot twist, as Walford legend Alfie Moon prepares to be hit with a prostate cancer diagnosis in the coming days. As fans discovered on Tuesday night, 15 August, Alfie was suffering from an enlarged prostate and blood in his urine, something which sparked concern among medics who urgently warned him he needed further tests to rule out prostate cancer.

EastEnders fans have been left stunned as one character revealed they have a big birthday coming up. During a conversation with Anna Knight, Bernadette Taylor explained that she turns 21 this week, although she isn't planning on marking the occasion, due to money troubles for the Taylor family.

EastEnders viewers are saying they want an iconic character to be axed from the show, after growing tired of his ‘depressing storylines'. Ben Mitchell has been a main character on the BBC soap since 1996, with him being played by six actors in total. During his 27-year run, Ben has undergone a number of drastic appearance and personality changes, seeing him slowly evolve from a quiet and fun-loving child into a killer and wannabe gangster.
