Chris Stapleton, Kane Brown and Tim McGraw are the reigning artist titans represented in the honorary awards, with Breland and Hardy representing a newer guard. Mary Chapin Carpenter, Clint Black and K.T. Oslin are the longer-standing artists getting their flowers from the ACM. Stapleton qualified for the ACM Triple Crown Award after being named entertainer of the year at the most recent ACM Awards for the first time.

EastEnders fans didn't know what to talk about first as they were left stunned by Cindy Beale's return. Michelle Collins has reprised the role of the iconic character, almost 25 years after Cindy was said to have died off-screen while in prison whilst giving birth.

EastEnders boss, Chris Clenshaw, has discussed the BBC One soap's explosive twist on Wednesday night, where Rose Knight was actually revealed to be 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.

EastEnders fans were treated to a blast from the past this week, when Walford favourite Cindy Beale made a miraculous return from the dead after being revealed to be George Knight’s elusive and mysterious ex-wife Rose Knight.The shocking details came to light on Wednesday’s edition of the soap, when Phil Mitchell informed George that he had done some sleuthing with a contact at the Spanish police and discovered no woman by the name of Rose Knight had ever existed. Clearly troubled by the news, George later dialled Rose’s number and attempted to make contact, however the phone simply rang.

Rose Knight’s identity was finally revealed in tonight’s episode of EastEnders - and she's really Cindy Beale. After months of speculation and fan theories, Cindy returns to EastEnders 25 years after she was killed off-screen. Viewers saw her failing to accept a call from George as he attempted to get in contact with missing wife ‘Rose’ confirming Cindy has been living under both names.

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.

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.
