Fiery EastEnders feud reignites as two major characters go to war
Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) are set to go to war again in upcoming EastEnders scenes.
The pair haven’t exactly been besties in the past, given both of their history with George Knight (Colin Salmon), and it is him that is set to cause further friction between them.
With Cindy currently persona non grata among the family, George reaches out to her in upcoming scenes with a plan to get them back on side.
However, it quickly becomes clear that Elaine isn’t impressed by his interference.
Cindy is left disappointed when she learns that Gina and Anna Knight (Francesca Henry and Molly Rainford) won’t be attending the relaunch of The Albert, but things get worse when she realises how low ticket sales are.
Heading out to the Square with Felix Baker (Matthew James Morrison) and Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) to drum up sales, Cindy soon finds herself embroiled in an argument with Elaine.
Determined to out-do her rival, Elaine organises a karaoke night at the Vic on the same day as the relaunch, leaving Cindy frustrated.
Unfortunately, Elaine’s karaoke night is the least of Cindy’s worries when Felix, Freddie and the rest of the staff walk out, realising they haven’t been paid.
Noticing her struggling, Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) offers to help out, but soon George steps up instead.
George’s efforts leave Gina incredulous, but she soon relents and agrees to help when she sees how hard her mum is trying.
At the Vic, Elaine celebrates with Freddie and Felix as news of Cindy’s failure reaches them.
However, the tables soon turn, and when the karaoke party ends up being a flop, Elaine is furious to learn how successful Cindy’s relaunch party has become.
Against George’s advice, Elaine decides to attend the party, and Cindy takes the opportunity to gloat about how George helped her, riling Elaine up even further.
As Elaine causes a scene before sniping at George, he leaves her behind to apologise to Cindy.
What will Elaine make of his betrayal?
