After a 25 year absence, the truth about Cindy Beale’s whereabouts was finally revealed to fans on Thursday, when a special 35 minute episode explained the secret behind the Walford icon’s secret identity as Rose Knight.

For 15 years, Cindy had been in witness protection living under the identity of ‘Rose Knight’ where she married George and had their daughters, Gina and Anna.

EastEnders fans have been left thinking that an iconic character is about to return to the square following Cindy Beale's dramatic return.

EastEnders aired one of its biggest plot twists in years last night (Wednesday) as Cindy Beale was revealed to be alive and well - and masquerading as the missing Rose Knight. Cindy (Michelle Collins) was last heard of in the BBC soap 25 years ago in 1998, when husband Ian (Adam Woodyatt) was told she had died during childbirth in prison.

Clearly troubled by the news, George later dialled Rose’s number and attempted to make contact, however the phone simply rang.

Rose Knight’s identity was finally revealed in tonight’s episode of EastEnders - and she's really Cindy Beale. After months of speculation and fan theories, Cindy returns to EastEnders 25 years after she was killed off-screen.
