This week on EastEnders, Cindy Beale's return had a chilling effect on Bobby Beale, leading fans to believe that another major character will make a comeback to protect him.
Cindy Beale Returns to the Square
During last night's episode of the BBC One soap, Cindy Beale (played by Michelle Collins) made her dramatic return to Walford, leaving Bobby Beale (played by Clay Milner Russell) terrified to face her.
All Hell Breaks Loose at The Vic
Cindy's return caused chaos at The Vic as she reunited with her two daughters, Anna and Gina, during Anna's birthday party. While Anna was willing to hear Cindy out, Gina turned to drugs to cope and ended up in the hospital after an overdose.
An Awkward Encounter With Bobby
In the hospital, Cindy and her husband Ian Beale crossed paths with Bobby, leading to an uncomfortable encounter. Bobby famously killed Cindy's daughter Lucy Beale in 2014, and while Cindy initially remained polite with him, her clear resentment has fans speculating that she may seek revenge in the future.
Fans Take to Social Media to Share Expectations
Viewers took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the unfolding storyline. Many believe that Cindy will eventually seek revenge, with one fan tweeting, "Any mother will, ultimately, want revenge" and another speculating that Cindy is playing a long game.
A Demand for Jane Beale's Return
Amidst the uncertainty, fans are calling for the return of Jane Beale, Bobby's adoptive mother. After seeing the potential danger facing Bobby, viewers are requesting that soap bosses bring back Jane for added protection. Some fans even predict that she may make a dramatic return on Christmas Day.
Jane Beale: Could She Protect Bobby Again?
Jane Beale, previously played by Laurie Brett, left Albert Square in 2017 after being threatened by Max Branning. However, she was instrumental in covering up Lucy's murder and protecting Bobby. Fans speculate that with the looming threat of Cindy seeking revenge, Jane may be the key to keeping Bobby safe once again.
EastEnders continues to air from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
