As the evening unfolded in EastEnders, poor David Wicks was in for quite the shock. It had been years since he had set foot in Walford, and little did he know that he was about to come face to face with not one, but two ghosts from his past. It was a lot to take in all at once.
The last time David had been in Walford was back in 2014, before the unexpected return of both Kathy Beale and Cindy Beale. Imagine his surprise when, within the span of just half an hour, he ran into both of them. Viewers may remember that Kathy and Cindy had faked their deaths for different reasons. Kathy's "death" was part of an insurance scam orchestrated by her husband Gavin, who was trying to escape loan sharks in South Africa. Meanwhile, Cindy had gone into witness protection after testifying against her cellmate, and her family had been told she was dead.
David and Cindy had a lot to catch up on, with their complicated history. In the 90s, they had an intense affair that led Cindy to hire a hitman to kill Ian Beale, so they could be together. However, things didn't go as planned, and David left Albert Square without her. So it was quite a shock for David to discover that Cindy and Ian were now back together. But the surprises didn't end there.
As David left Cindy's place, he bumped into Kathy, and his reaction was both funny and relatable. "Oh, not another one," he groaned, before jokingly adding, "It's like the Walking Dead around here!" It turned out he had heard rumors about Kathy being "resurrected" and was now expecting to see Pauline Fowler coming out of the launderette next.
During his conversation with Kathy, it didn't take long for David to learn about Cindy's new life, including her second family, the Knights. But before he could learn more, Cindy interrupted, revealing some home truths about how he had left her feeling when he abandoned her at Waterloo Station all those years ago.
Their reunion was soon interrupted by Gina Knight, who pulled Cindy into the Queen Vic, where she was faced with a proposal from Ian. As David watched from the sidelines, he didn't look too pleased. But will he try to ruin things for them, or will he leave his ghosts from the past where they belong? Only time will tell.
