Bobby Beale spirals out of control as Cindy returns in EastEnders
CINDY Beale is making her way back to the Square after more than two decades of absence.
However, her return to Walford is sending former EastEnders demon child Bobby Beale into a panic as his past comes back to haunt him.
The lad played by Clay Milner Russell was once one of Albert Square's biggest villain after letting his violent streak run wild and killing his older sister Lucy.
Bobby savagely bludgeoned Lucy to death at the age of eleven before his adoptive mother Jane helped cover it up.
He was eventually caught out in the lie and confessed himself to the police before being sent to prison.
When he returned home in 2019, Bobby bent over backwards to prove he had changed while many other residents - including his father Ian who struggled to forgive him - were reluctant to trust him and even displayed hostile behaviour.

Bobby's actions were eventually forgotten as he's been staying out of trouble ever since but Cindy Beale is due to return to the Square and drag the past back with her.
Coming up on the BBC One soap, actress Michelle Collins rocks up Walford for the first time in 25 years as her on-screen alter ego searches for her son Peter (portrayed by Thomas Law).
She eventually seeks out her mother-in-law Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) who, just like her, is no stranger to returning from the dead.
The pair of women get into a heated row while Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) is desperate to keep Cindy away from her other former husband, George Knight (Colin Salmon).

Meanwhile, Bobby's unresolved guilt comes back to haunt him as he frets to Ian that Cindy and his love interest Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) will hate him for Lucy's death and rushes home to No.45.
Bobby has recently taken a liking to George Knight's daughter Anna while he was completely unaware she was the daughter of Cindy Beale aka Rose Knight.

Could she try and turn both Anna and Gina against Bobby in order to avenge Lucy?
