Ever since Cindy Beale (played by Michelle Collins) was revealed to be hiding away in France under witness protection program, fans are eagerly waiting for her return to EastEnders. Cindy left Walford in 1998 after she attempted to have her husband, Ian Beale (played by Adam Woodyatt) murdered in order to gain custody of their children. But in November of that year, Ian was told that Cindy had died behind bars giving birth to Cindy Williams (Mimi Keene).
