'Enders Cindy to rise from the dead

EastEnders' Cindy Beale is to return to Albert Square – as a ghost.

Cindy – who was played by Michelle Collins for nine years before her character was killed off during child birth in prison – makes her presence felt in Walford when Ian (Adam Woodyatt) and daughter Lucy (Melissa Suffield) begin receiving spooky texts and e-mails from beyond the grave.

A BBC insider told The Sun: "It starts when Lucy gets emails from her mum but then things get sinister. Ian finds a message reading ‘I’m back’ scrawled on the mirror and the room smells of Cindy’s perfume.

"Then he is sent a picture of her – looking older than when she supposedly died. Eventually he receives a message asking him to meet her – at her grave."

However, an EastEnders spokeswoman told DS today: "We never comment on future storylines."

As yet, it is unclear as to whether Michelle will reprise her role but was quoted last year as saying: "There's talk of Cindy’s death being staged and her being in a witness protection programme. I wouldn’t say no to returning."

I've heard this rumor before. I don't know if I believe it. My guess is it will be somebody else messing with Ian.

Oooohh, I hope it's true - imagine all the mess Ian will be in if she's really still alive. Wow - if he has married Jane (and the marriage to Laura) it will mean he's a bigamist....a big, big stain on the whiter-than-white character he likes to portray.

Actually it wouldn't because she was declared dead at the prison. So he would be free and clear.

Oh, I think that was during the time I missed EE when I was in the US for 6 months, so didn't know about that. Oh well. Shame - would have been interesting to see.

She was a devious little one that Cindy.... should be interesting no matter how they play it out.

It kind of makes sense.
But how would she get Lucy's email address?
And doesn't she look older in this picture from the BBC EE site? Maybe the witness protection program can do that to you.

If she comes back the minute Ian and Jane get married it will be great. OMGOMG Too many jokes. Too many jokes.

She looks way older in that picture! I can't believe how she's aged....... it'll be so great to see how Ian reacts to all of this.

Michelle Collins was in Dr Who a couple of weeks back. She looked pretty good in that.
