The note attached read: ‘You should have stayed dead, now I’m coming for you.’. Poor Cindy was attacked on Christmas Day, when an unknown assailant whacked her over the head with a snow shovel. The incident took place just hours after she disowned her entire clan, having faced up to the consequences of her affair with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) being exposed.

After being placed in a medically induced coma, she’s now more desperate than ever to track down her mystery attacker and get justice. And as are we! Though for the time being, we’ll have to continue playing armchair detectives as the big reveal won’t take place until EastEnders’ big 40th anniversary next month.

In tonight’s episode, Cindy was shaken and wondering who to trust. She’s currently staying with murderer Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman), who had decided enough was enough – she had to move out. There was much speculation around Albert Square as to who could’ve thrown the brick towards her, with Mo Harris (Laila Morse) believing that her ex-husband George Knight (Micah Balfour) could be responsible.
