EASTENDERS fans believe Cindy Beale will cheat on Ian Beale again as she juggles three lovers.
Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) got a shock after seeing her ex David Wicks (Micheal French) back on the square in Monday’s episode of EastEnders.
Her ex-husband George Knight (Colin Salmon) found Cindy hiding and quizzed her.
She told him about David Wicks and how he helped her flee to France.
George advised her to stop hiding and face him and her feelings for him.
Cindy told him that she doesn’t have any unresolved feelings for David and even if she did, she couldn’t do anything about it because she is with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).
Later, David was left stunned as he came face to face with Cindy and realised she was alive.
As the pair catch up over the last decade, will the former flames realise they have unfinished business?
Meanwhile, Ian is planning to propose to Cindy, even though she is having an affair with her stepson Junior Knight (Micah Balfour).
Will David’s return spur Ian to propose sooner?
EastEnders viewers are convinced Cindy still has feelings for David and will cheat on Ian again.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one said: “Cindy is bare worked up for someone who doesn’t still have feelings for David.”
Another added: “You can’t blame Cindy for how she reacted to seeing David Wicks again.
“It has been at least 20 years since they last seen each other and he thought she was dead.
“I can’t wait for Cindy & David to share scenes again. The nostalgia will be brilliant.”
LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic?
EASTENDERS
Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning’s dad Max in 2007.
Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year.
Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell.
Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler – not realising it was caught on tape – and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic.
Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day.
A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira.
CORONATION STREET
Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street – extending it to bigamy.
He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon.
But it didn’t stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him.
Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband’s nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later.
When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled.
Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price’s best friend, Maria Connor.
Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day.
But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy.
EMMERDALE
Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale.
She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride’s betrayal via a recording played at the wedding.
Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well – until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle.
Robert’s ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair – but fell to her death before she had the chance.
However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair – after which she announced it to the whole pub.
Elsewhere, Bianca’s (Patsy Palmer) behaviour continued to cause more concern.
After having a chat with Reiss, David doesn’t believe he is the cause of Sonia’s arrest and suggested he moved to Peterborough for a while, leaving Bianca fuming.
She raged at her dad for letting Reiss pull the wool over his eyes.
In explosive scenes, David yelled that she is displaying similar traits to his son Joe Wicks (Paul Nicholls) – who had schizophrenia.
Bianca’s fury only raised as she stated that David as never been there for any of his kids.
Can the father and daughter rekindle their relationship? And will anyone believe Bianca about Reiss?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
