EastEnders fans beg Jacqueline Jossa to return full time as she shares backstage shots

EastEnders fans have been left emotional after Denise Fox revealed a special memorial gift for Lola on her birthday. Young Lola passed away in May after a battle with a brain tumour, and on what should have been her 27th birthday, her friends and family remembered her just days after her funeral. Lola's former boss Denise gathered Lola's nearest and dearest at the salon where a personalised chair was unveiled in memory of her.The black and white chair had Lola's name on the back in a special gold plaque, meaning she will never be forgotten on the square.

After Thursday night’s episode of the BBC soap EastEnders, fans have been sent into a frenzy after Anna and Gina Knight found their mum’s old locket with a mystery date on it. George Knight, played by Colin Salmon, made his entrance in Albert Square last month alongside his two daughters Anna and Gina (played by Strictly's Molly Rainford and newcomer Francesca Henry). Since then, the drama in Albert Square hasn’t stopped and, in jaw-dropping scenes, Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) returned from the dead after 25 years off screen, having been said to have died in child birth while in prison.

EastEnders actor Paul Nicholls, who played the popular Joe Wicks on the BBC soap, is barely recognisable 25 years after his dramatic exit from Walford. The 44 year old star has taken on a new role in a BBC children's drama series Phoenix Rise.

EastEnders viewers were left "disappointed" on Wednesday's episode as fan favourite, Finlay Baker, played by Ashley Byam, left Walford. Finlay, who first made his appearance in July 2022, has recently found himself caught in a feud with the Panesar family after Vinny tampered his car. And in a further twist, it was revealed that Finlay wasn't the intended victim and it was in fact Eve Unwin, who has been having an affair with Suki Panesar, as she was supposed to drive the vehicle.

Just days after his car was sabotaged in an attempt to kill Eve Unwin, Finlay Baker may have unwittingly sealed his fate as he came dangerously close to uncovering the real truth about why the motor had been sabotaged. As regular EastEnders viewers will know, Vinny tampered with the brakes on the car last week, after he knew Eve would be borrowing the motor for a trip to Brighton, and wanted her out of the picture permanently, after he discovered she and his mum Suki Panesar had been engaging in an affair.

If EastEnders fans thought the Knight family drama might die down this week, they should brace themselves for further scenes as the fall out continues. Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) returned last week after 25 years away and being thought to have died in childbirth in prison in one of the biggest plot twists the BBC soap has aired.

BBC soap, with fans constantly asking when he would be back and what his future storylines would be as they hoped he would reunite with at least one of his (many!) ex-wives. He made a surprise appearance for the funeral of Dot Cotton at the end of 2022, where he was seen mourning the late Walford legend out of the view of everyone else but the audience. He was seen on the phone to a mystery person, prompting rumours of a return.

After a 25 year absence, the truth about Cindy Beale’s whereabouts was finally revealed to fans on Thursday, when a special 35 minute episode explained the secret behind the Walford icon’s secret identity as Rose Knight. As regular viewers will know, the last time we saw Cindy Beale in the soap prior to this week’s revelations, Cindy had widely been believed to have died in childbirth, while serving time in prison for the attempted murder of her husband Ian Beale.

As Cindy Beale made her triumphant return to EastEnders this week, 25 years on after faking her own death on the soap, fans at home were given the inside scoop on where she had been all this time on Thursday’s episode. Cindy, who had been living under the fake identity of Rose Knight, was revealed to be living in France after being placed under witness protection for becoming an informant for her former cell mate.

One day on since EastEnders fans were treated to an explosive blast from the past when Cindy Beale was revealed to be alive and kicking, 25 years after she had reportedly died in prison, soap fans were treated to a second dose of nostalgia on Thursday night, when Peter Beale and Lauren Branning also made an unexpected return to the Square. As regular viewers will know, Cindy was revealed to be the mysterious Rose Knight on Wednesday, after Phil Mitchell had enlisted the help of his brief to try and track down George Knight’s mystery wife.

The truth about Rose Knight, or Cindy Beale, was revealed in tonight’s episode of EastEnders and it didn’t disappoint. While we all believed Cindy died in childbirth in 1998, it turns out she’s been in witness protection the whole time hiding from an old cellmate and her cronies. For 15 years, Cindy had been in witness protection living under the identity of ‘Rose Knight’ where she married George and had their daughters, Gina and Anna.

EastEnders fans have been left thinking that an iconic character is about to return to the square following Cindy Beale's dramatic return. Fans of the BBC show were left shocked last night as Cindy, played by Michelle Collins, came back to the show after dying off-screen 25 years ago. Cindy is making a comeback alongside the legend that is Ian Beale.

Last night's instalment of EastEnders had Albert's Square fans picking their jaws up off the floor following the eagerly-anticipated return of beloved character Cindy Beale, played by soap-star favourite Michelle Collins.The Walford old-timer was killed off in 1998 but is seemingly back, alongside her on-screen ex-husband Ian Beale, played by Adam Woodyatt. And no was was more shocked at the prospect of Cindy's return that fellow EastEnders alum Jacqueline Jossa, who took to Instagram to express her disbelief that one of the best-loved characters is back from the dead.

EastEnders fans reckon they have sussed out Cindy Beale's revenge plan as she returned to Albert Square last night.

EastEnders aired one of its biggest plot twists in years last night (Wednesday) as Cindy Beale was revealed to be alive and well - and masquerading as the missing Rose Knight. Cindy (Michelle Collins) was last heard of in the BBC soap 25 years ago in 1998, when husband Ian (Adam Woodyatt) was told she had died during childbirth in prison.

After weeks of intense secrecy surrounding the identity of George Knight’s mysterious ex-wife Rose, the truth was finally revealed to EastEnders viewers on Wednesday evening when it emerged Rose Knight was actually Cindy Beale! Up until now, Cindy, who is also the ex-wife of long running character Ian Beale, had widely been believed to have died in childbirth while serving time in prison, but as it emerged on Wednesday, rumours of Cindy’s death had been greatly exaggerated! The truth first came to light after Linda Carter had grown suspicious about newcomer George Knight and asked Phil Mitchell and Callum Highway to look into the identity of both George and his “missing” wife Rose. Yet when police officer Callum checked the police database, he soon stumbled upon a large red flag, when it was revealed the file for Rose Knight was restricted.To make matters worse, Callum was later chastised by his superiors for looking into the situation, and was warned not to pursue the matter and to "forget he had ever heard" the name Rose Knight.

Rose Ayling-Ellis has said she is 'honoured and moved' as she shared some exciting special news with her fans. The former EastEnders actress revealed that she has been given her own portrait in The National Portrait Gallery.

As the identity of the mysterious Rose Knight creeps ever closer to being revealed, EastEnders fans have excitedly been sharing their theories about who it could possibly be. On Tuesday’s instalment of the popular BBC soap, Callum Highway was left more than a little rattled, after the police search he was conducting into the identity of the mystery woman hit more than a few roadblocks, with the file deemed classified and inaccessible on the police database.The search came after his father-in-law Phil Mitchell asked him to look into Rose and her estranged husband George, but while he could access George’s file without a problem, Rose’s was completely locked and his access was denied.

Danielle Fishel is known for starring as Topanga on the beloved '90s sitcom "Boy Meets World," a show she began appearing on when she was just 12 years old. She spent the next seven years growing up on television and, as she's revealing now, there were some alarming interactions behind the scenes.
