EastEnders star Michelle Collins teases shock return for another of Cindy Beale’s children

EASTENDERS star Michelle Collins has teased a reunion with her daughter that everyone has forgotten about.

Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) makes her epic return to Walford this week, alongside ex husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and son Peter Beale (Thomas Law).

She will also be reunited with her daughters Anna (Mollie Rainford) and Gina (Francesca Henry).

Cindy will finally come face to face with her ex husband George Knight (Colin Salmon) who she married when she was in witness protection under another name, Rose.

However, Cindy has another daughter some viewers may have forgotten about, Cindy Junior.

After it was believed that Cindy died in labour, her newborn daughter Cindy Jr was raised by her aunt and grandmother.

Cindy Jr was last seen on screen in 2015 when Mimi Keene departed the soap.

Michelle has teased the prospect of a whole family reunion in the near future amid her own character’s return.

She said: "I have mentioned her, obviously. I can't really tell you too much about her.

"But I know she is alive. That's about all I know. But possibly, who knows?

“A lot has happened to her [Cindy Sr]. She's been through a lot and she's almost got PTSD.

"She is a bit traumatised, but still a very strong character.

“I think these shows write really well for women and I was really happy with particularly that week and the progression of the script.”

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
