Next year, the identity of Cindy Beale's attacker will finally be revealed. As avid viewers of EastEnders already know, Cindy was viciously struck on the back of her head with a snow shovel on Christmas Day and left for dead. The perpetrator responsible for this heinous act will come to light during the show's highly anticipated 40th anniversary week.
With the revelation of her affair with Junior Knight causing a stir in the Queen Vic just hours before the attack, there is no shortage of suspects in this case. The Beale and Knight families were torn apart as Cindy faced the music and everyone demanded answers. However, she refused to be questioned and instead lashed out at her loved ones before leaving the Square in a cab.
But before she could make her grand exit, one furious resident took matters into their own hands and attacked Cindy, leaving her unconscious in the snow. The following day, Kathy Beale and George Knight stumbled upon her lifeless body and quickly called for an ambulance. As the police arrived and an investigation began, Cindy was rushed into surgery and put into an induced coma, her fate uncertain.
This unexpected turn of events sets the stage for a gripping murder mystery that will play a major role in the upcoming 40th anniversary, similar to the iconic "Who Killed Lucy Beale?" storyline from the 30th anniversary. As the truth about Cindy's affair and other questionable actions come to light, the list of suspects only grows longer.
But who is truly responsible for Cindy's attack? This burning question will keep fans on the edge of their seats for the next few weeks until the big reveal during the anniversary week in February. Showrunner Chris Clenshaw promises that viewers will have plenty of clues to work with and that this reveal is just one of many explosive storylines planned for the anniversary.
In addition to finding out the identity of Cindy's attacker, the 40th anniversary will also feature the Queen Vic going up in flames, as well as Billy and Honey Mitchell's wedding. But that's not all - there will also be a live element where viewers get to choose the outcome of a specific storyline. Don't miss out on the action, tune in to EastEnders Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One or catch up on BBC iPlayer.
