Watch moment EastEnders’ evil Cindy Beale sinks to a new low and THREATENS Kojo in desperate move to keep Junior secret
Cindy finally received the dreaded news: Kojo is being woken from his coma
A PANICKED Cindy Beale went to desperate lengths to keep her secret affair hidden in EastEnders.
Cindy’s (Michelle Collins) affair with her stepson Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) turned deadly when Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) ended up in the hospital after spotting the pair together last week.
A struggle between Cindy and Kojo left him in a coma after he fell from a high balcony.
Cindy stayed on edge, fearing what Kojo might remember when he eventually woke up from his coma.
Tonight’s episode saw Cindy receive the dreaded news: Kojo is being woken from his coma, leaving her terrified about what he might reveal.
Cindy went to confront a vulnerable Kojo in hospital, while the family weren’t around, to see what he remembered before his fall and if he will tell his brother George Knight (Colin Salmon).
Cindy asked Kojo: “Do you remember our little conversation on the stairs before you tripped up?”
When Kojo nodded, Cindy continued: “Can we just keep that our little secret, yeah? Because you know what will happen if anyone finds out don’t you?
“It will destroy George’s family, and George will do anything to protect his family. And you wouldn’t want to be the one to ruin that, would you?
“Because he might send you back to live with your brother. And you’ve adjusted so well, slotted in. And the girls would really miss you.
“But don’t worry, because you’re going to do what your told aren’t you?”
Will Cindy’s threats keep Kojo quiet?
Meanwhile, to make matters worse, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) witnessed the confrontation and threatened to uncover what Cindy was so desperate to hide in EastEnders.
But a ruthless Cindy exploited Lauren’s secret painkiller addiction, using it as leverage to neutralise her threat and protect her own secrets.
Upcoming spoilers have teased that Cindy and Junior’s affair will be revealed on Christmas Day.
Viewers will remember that bird recorder Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) inadvertently caught Cindy on tape confessing to former lover and Ian’s half-brother David Wicks (Michael French) that she had been sleeping with Junior but was also still in love with his dad George – despite being engaged to Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).
The tape will be played on Christmas Day and all hell will break loose among the Beale and Knight families.
And soon fury and accusations will be dispensed in every direction.
Will the families be changed forever?
