August 15th 2024.
Cindy had reached her breaking point with Junior. Their affair had been heating up in the past few weeks, with secret rendezvous and stolen moments whenever they could manage. But now, she was tired of sneaking around and being his dirty little secret.
It all came to a head when Junior failed to show up for their planned meet-up. She was fuming, and her anger only grew when she walked into The Vic and saw him introducing his date, Maxine, to his family. Junior tried to downplay it, insisting that it was just a distraction for his family, but Cindy was not having it.
To make matters worse, her daughter Gina Knight had caught wind of Junior's tryst with Maxine and couldn't resist spreading the gossip. Cindy was livid and gave Junior the cold shoulder. He accused her of overreacting, but she wasn't having that either. She laid down an ultimatum - if he wanted to be with her, he couldn't be with anyone else.
Later in the week, Junior ended things with Maxine and made sure to let Gina know, knowing that Cindy was listening in. Cindy was pleased that he had chosen her, but she couldn't help but wonder how long they could keep their affair hidden from her husband, Ian, and the rest of the Knight family.
Micah Balfour, the actor who plays Junior, shared that he believes his character has genuine feelings for Cindy. He had initially slept with her to spite his father, George Knight, but their relationship had evolved and he now had real feelings for her. However, he was still the type of man who believed that what others didn't know couldn't hurt them.
