Last year, viewers of EastEnders were completely taken aback when Cindy Beale made a stunning comeback from the grave. However, in a recent revelation, actress Michelle Collins shared that she was not aware of her character's supposed death.
Cindy's story on the show came to an end when she was arrested for hiring a hitman to kill her husband Ian Beale. She was then sent to prison for her crime. Later, it was announced that Cindy had passed away while giving birth to her daughter, Cindy Jr.
Luckily, her death was not shown on screen, leaving room for a dramatic return 25 years later. During an interview with Lorraine Kelly on her ITV show, Michelle admitted that she never expected to go back to the show and thought that chapter of her life was over. She also revealed that she was not informed about her character's death.
"I was filming Sunburn at the time, so I was okay with it. But then Barbara Windsor told me she had attended Cindy's funeral. I was shocked because I didn't even know she had died!" Michelle shared, laughing.
Cindy has now become a permanent presence on the Square once again, causing chaos and drama in her own unique style. She made a grand entrance at her daughter Anna's birthday party at the Queen Vic and has been stirring up trouble ever since.
Although Cindy's character has remained true to her scheming ways, Michelle acknowledged that a lot has changed off-screen since her last appearance on the show. "I left in my thirties, and now I'm sixty-one. I'm a very different person these days," she said.

Michelle also shared that the show has gone through significant changes since she was last on set. "There are only four original cast members left - Steve McFadden, Gillian Taylforth, Letitia Dean, and Adam Woodyatt. That's it," she said. "But it's lovely to see some of the crew members still there. It's like a reunion when you recognize them."
Furthermore, the cast has grown substantially, with 56-57 members compared to the 25 when Michelle was originally on the show. They also produce four episodes a week now, whereas it was only two during her time.
Exciting things are in store for EastEnders fans, as a special episode will reveal the new murderer while Linda and Dean have a heated confrontation. In addition, rumors have surfaced about Cindy Jr.'s return, and it seems like she will have a shocking encounter with her "dead" mother.
