AN EastEnders legend is set for a return to Albert Square – much to their family’s shock.
Drama and tension soon follows this bombshell reappearance in the BBC soap.
Lauren Branning and Peter Beale’s engagement party is disrupted in upcoming scenes.
It sees Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) make a comeback to Albert Square after a two month absence.
Aside from their connection to Peter, Cindy and Lauren have had a contentious relationship.
As partygoers at Harry’s Barn are left reeling, Peter tries to defuse the situation.
But Lauren soon leaves and gives him a firm ultimatum – it’s her or Cindy.
Both the Beales and Knights shun Cindy – but she turns the tables by exposing the truth about Kathy.
Cindy later heads to No.29A to face Lauren and is stunned to find her in labour.
When the ambulance is delayed, Cindy takes matters into her own hands to get Lauren to hospital.
Will everything go according to plan?
Soap icon Cindy previously fled in February after surviving the Queen Vic explosion.
She had tried to blackmail ex-husband Ian Beale into handing over half their money.
Otherwise, she would report his mum Kathy for trying to k.i.l.l her at Christmas.
Ian soon countered this by threatening to expose her shooting him and pushing him in front of a car.
This had caused Reiss Colwell to crash into the Vic, leading to the explosion.
After taking the money under agreement that she leaves – she said a cool goodbye to her family.
Recent lover Junior Knight chased her to the tube station and asked her: “I don’t understand why you’re letting Ian get away with it.”
“Oh no-one’s getting away with anything,” Cindy told him.
Now that she’s back, what will Cindy have in store?
EastEnders continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
