Last night (23rd June 2023), viewers caught up with the couple, who were living in France while Cindy hid in witness protection under the fake identity of Rose Knight.<\/p>\n
While we don\u2019t know exactly when Cindy and Ian will return to EastEnders<\/a>, we do know there will be drama when they do arrive in Walford \u2013 not least from awkward reunions with George Knight (Colin Salmon), Gina (Francesca Henry), Anna (Molly Rainford) and Kathy (Gillian Taylforth).<\/p> Speaking about what\u2019s coming in the future, Executive Producer, Chris Clenshaw, told press including RadioTimes.com<\/a> that there\u2019s insecurity and aggression surrounding the whole tale.<\/p>\n Chris said: \u201cIn that episode, we discovered that Ian and Cindy are living a secret life in France with Peter. Then Mary, Cindy\u2019s handler, delivers the news that her witness protection is over and Ian is very keen to go back to Walford, as he\u2019s obviously missing home.<\/p>\n \u201cHe raises this with Cindy \u2013 she\u2019s obviously not too keen on that because she hasn\u2019t really got anything to go back there for. When he has this heart attack, Cindy thinks maybe that is the best thing for him.\u201d<\/p>\n Read More<\/strong><\/p>\n He added:\u00a0\u201cBut in the meantime, he\u2019s discovered that her family \u2013 George and her daughters \u2013 are living in Walford miraculously and he decides \u2018Hang on a minute, I think that\u2019s the last place we want to go back to,\u2019 which obviously shows Ian\u2019s insecurities, especially towards towards George.\u201d<\/p>\n As for what\u2019s going on in Walford now the truth about Rose\u2019s identity is out, Chris promised drama from Gina and Anna.<\/p>\n Chris teased: \u201cBasically, life carries on in Walford. So George now has this knowledge that his wife of 15 years, who walked out nine years ago, isn\u2019t who she said she was. That obviously turns his world upside down and very quickly\u2026 the girls, Gina and Anna, discovered this too, and they have very different reactions\u2026 I think Gina is a chip off her mother\u2019s block.<\/p>\n \u201cShe takes after her mother; she\u2019s very impulsive, and her and Anna have quite different reactions. What does this mean? One of the girls begins a journey to reach out and to find out. But will they become successful?\u201d<\/p>\n How will the Knights cope when they find out who Rose really is and how she\u2019s living with Ian?<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and from 6am on BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/strong>Visit our dedicated\u00a0EastEnders<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0page\u00a0<\/strong>for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/strong>TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Take part in\u00a0the Screen Test<\/a>, a project from Radio Times and the Universities of Sussex and Brighton, to explore the role of television and audio in our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
