EastEnders confirms two major comebacks as a new era beckons in 57 pictures
Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) makes an explosive return to EastEnders next week, as revealed in my new picture gallery.
If you can’t wait until then, I’ve got all of the hottest goss from The Square right here!
The soap queen arrives at Lauren Branning and Peter Beale’s (Jacqueline Jossa and Thomas Law) engagement party, and doesn’t get a welcome reception.
They’ve had a worrying day at the hospital, with the midwife discussing potential problems with her pregnancy.
Cindy’s arrival is the icing on the cake, especially when she drops the bombshell that her Christmas Day attacker was Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth)!
As Lauren goes into labour, she’s stuck with the worst possible person… Cindy.
Elsewhere, Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) spots Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) acting out of character.
She’s unaware that he’s learnt the shocking truth behind his ex-girlfriend Shireen’s d.e.a.t.h, and his mum Nicola (Laura Doddington) is keen to keep her off his back.
Nic also faces off with Zack Hudson (James Farrar), who deals a menacing threat.
There’s fears for Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) when Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) realise he thinks it’s 1995.
He’s keen to celebrate the anniversary of VE Day, and a last minute party is organised.
Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) opens the doors to the refurbished Queen Vic, and everyone is thrilled.
Plus, Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) forces partner Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) to confess why they had to flee Australia.
Something tells us she isn’t going to be a happy bunny!
