We edge closer to learning Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) attacker in EastEnders next week. There’s just over a month until the perpetrator is revealed, as the BBC soap prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary with a live episode, a wedding and a huge explosion at The Queen Vic pub.

It’s going to be quite the event!. Ever since Cindy was struck over the head with a snow shovel on Christmas Day in the aftermath of her estrangement from both the Beale and Knight families. She was planning to make a quick escape from the area for pastures new, realising that her affair with former step-son Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) had ruined any prospect of a future in Walford.

Last week, we saw Cindy wake up from her coma and ask for her estranged partner Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), just days after her ex-husband George Knight’s (Colin Salmon) bloody shirt was found bundled away a cupboard. Ian insisted that if he was responsible, he’d have finished the job (charming), whilst George claimed he was taking part in a fight that evening to vent his anger.

After speaking with DCI Arthurs (Ian Burfield), Cindy later dobbed Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) in. But who really is responsible?!. In upcoming scenes, Cindy wakes up at twisted Reiss Colwell’s (Jonny Freeman) house, after son Peter (Thomas Law) secured her an alternative place to stay.
