Iconic EastEnders couple face devastating split as secret lover issues threat
An iconic EastEnders couple could be facing a devastating split in upcoming scenes, and it is all thanks to a steamy affair.
Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) recently accepted a proposal from Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) while her exes and the man she’s been having an affair with all watched. Talk about iconic.
As a result of her engagement, Cindy called off her affair with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) – something that he hasn’t taken well.
In tonight’s episode, Junior headed to Beale’s Eels to talk to Cindy, but when she continued to insist that their relationship was over, he took a different tactic.
When Cindy later rushed into the pub, late for a date with Ian, she was horrified to find him chatting with Junior.
To make matters worse, it transpired that Junior had been filling Ian in on his new relationship.
Ian relayed the juicy gossip that the woman Junior had been seeing was in a relationship and had dumped Junior as if he had done something wrong.
Cindy was quick to argue that the other woman must have her side of the story, clearly relieved that Ian hadn’t twigged but angry that Junior had even brought it up.
As Ian prepared to order Cindy a drink, Junior promised to tell him the rest of the story some other time…
Could he be set to reveal the full extent of his affair with Cindy and ruin their relationship before they’ve tied the knot?
Junior’s loose lips aren’t the only threat to their secret, however, as tonight’s episode also saw Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) reveal that his bird recorder had picked up hours of audio after being left by the window of Beale’s Eels.
This means that there is every chance it could have caught Cindy’s conversation with David Wicks (Michael French), which saw her confess to her affair, much to his horror.
Is Cindy and Junior’s affair set to come out one way or another?
