EastEnders confirms Cindy Beale’s attacker in shock twist

In Ian Beale’s possession was the locket, yet he maintained it wasn’t him who had stolen it; instead, he claimed that Peter (Thomas Law) was the culprit.

In an intense turn of events, I found myself brandishing Phil’s gun as a heated argument ensued. Just then, Kathy burst onto the scene, confessing her role in the unfolding drama – it was indeed her all along.

It’s safe to say that Cindy was *furious*, and pointed the gun at Ian to destroy Kathy.

The coffee shop owner angrily lashed out at Cindy, expressing her remorse that she hadn’t completed the task instead.

In the heat of the moment, a scuffle broke out when Ian and Kathy were attempting to disarm her, fearing she might do something reckless. Regrettably, during this commotion, Ian was wounded by a stray bullet, but fortunately it hit only his arm.

Cindy fled, only to encounter Phil who disarmed her of her weapon, after which she made her way to The Queen Vic for a beverage.

When she stepped outside, she encountered Kathy and Ian, promptly chose to verbally reprimand them once more, maintaining that she was dialing the police.

In a state of obvious distress, Ian attempted to negotiate with her by proposing a substantial amount as a means to hush her up. However, Cindy was not swayed by the offer; instead, she harbored thoughts of retribution.

Ian presented her with two options: accept his financial assistance, or prepare for a lengthy legal battle with top-tier attorneys, if necessary, on behalf of his mother.

Without a doubt, Cindy had chosen her path, and just as Reiss (Johnny Freeman) sped around the corner in his vehicle, she pushed Ian forward towards the car, forcing the villain to veer into the nearby pub. This innocent establishment would ultimately lead to an extraordinary explosion.
