EastEnders’ Cindy Beale finally works out who attacked her at Christmas – and it’s an old foe
A whole list of suspects have been at the centre of attention as the mystery assailant
EASTENDER’S Cindy Beale finally works out who attacked her at Christmas and it’s an old foe.
The long-running BBC One character was shockingly attacked on the Christmas Day special.
A whole list of suspects have been at the centre of attention as they might be the person behind the attempted m.u.r.d.e.r.
On tonight’s episode, a terrified Cindy is convinced she’s discovered the guilty party!
Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) was feeling the pressure after she admitted she’d slept with her sister’s boyfriend Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier).
So she stays the night at her brother Junior Knight’s (Micah Balfour) apartment because she doesn’t feel safe at the The Vic.
In the morning, she gets a text from her father George Knight saying the shovel’s gone and she rushes out to help him.
However, outside the apartment, a neighbour stops her and says: ” She can hear her and Junior arguing through the walls.”
Gina explains that Junior slept with her mother and the woman tells Gina to follow her because she needs to see something.
Meanwhile, Cindy visits Junior who explains he has stolen the shovel from The Vic so that she can take it to the police and find out who tried to k.i.l.l her.
He tells her that he is the only person she can trust and that she is wrong to blame any of his family and should be looking at the Beales.
Later, Cindy takes the shovel to the police and when she sees Kathy Beale and Lauren Branning she tells them that their days are numbered.
“As if being related to you would stop anyone trying to do you in says Kathy.
However, Gina visits Cindy afterwards and says: “I think I know who did it. I think I know who attacked you”
Gina then shows Cindy a video of Junior from the night of the attack which proves he was lying about where he was.
Cindy rushes back around to confront Junior but he denies any wrong doing and explains to her that as a jilted lover, he was just protecting himself from the police.
He explains: ” I still love you, Why would I want to hurt you?”
But Cindy is too confused to know who to believe and rushes out of his apartment.
Outside Kathy confronts her saying: “You’ve really got your feet under the table again, haven’t you?
“Do you know what it doesn’t matter what you do to Ian, he’ll always be trailing after you like a little lost puppy.”
Cindy attempts to walk off but Kathy grabs her arm and Cindy screams: “Get your hands off me. Kathy.
“If you’ve left any evidence on that shovel the police are going to get you, that’s if I don’t get you first!”
As Cindy walks away, Junior appears and asks Cindy why she ran out on him.
A clearly upset Cindy replies: “She’s wanted me gone from the moment I got here. She even said herself, she wished she’d finished the job”
“Who Cindy?” asks Junior.
“Kathy! It’s Kathy who tried to k.i.l.l me!” shouts Cindy.
EastEnders airs on BBC1 and is available to stream on BBCIplayer.
