 The time has finally come for Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) to make her highly anticipated return to Albert Square, as a huge week kicks off in EastEnders. All four of the week's episodes will centre around one day in Walford, actress Michelle Collins has revealed, as Cindy Beale finally arrives back in the UK, having lived abroad under a different identity for over 25 years. 'She arrives in the Square, and the whole week is all one day. It's a very long day! The whole week's episodes are one day when she arrives to whatever happens.' So what does happen? Here's exactly what we can expect from Cindy's epic homecoming. Kathy and Cindy's almighty showdown There is one thing we have been eagerly anticipating since the announcement of Cindy's return more than anything else, and that is her inevitable showdown with mother-in-law Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth). It seems we won't have long to wait for this tete-a-tete, as Cindy heads out to findKathy almost as soon as she lands in London. When Peter Beale (Thomas Law) is distracted by a phone call from dad Ian (Adam Woodyatt), insisting that he find a way to get Cindy back to France, she takes the opportunity to ditch him and head straight to Albert Square. Having had no luck tracking her down in the café and trying desperately not to be spotted by anyone who may recognise her from all those years ago, she heads over to No.45, where she comes face to face with a shocked Kathy. As you would expect from two arch-nemeses such as Kathy and Cindy, it isn't long before fireworks explode… Kathy has a lot to take in (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) 'The first person that she meets is Kathy and I think you can probably imagine what that's going to be like!
