 EastEnders will make reference to Cindy Williams Jr, following mum Cindy Beale's (Michelle Collins) historic return from the dead. Fans of the BBC One soap were rendered speechless earlier this year when it was confirmed that Cindy Sr would stage an unprecedented comeback, despite having been killed off decades ago. Clever writing and a retcon or two, however, revealed that Cindy didn't actually die, but rather she was taken into witness protection after turning informant on cellmate Jackie Ford, who was wanted by authorities at the time. The popular character has therefore been living abroad, away from the prying eyes of all those who knew her a lifetime ago. But with Jackie Ford having died, Cindy is finally free to live her life as she pleased, meaning that she could return to Walford if she wanted to. Incredible scenes last week saw the icon arrive back in London for the first time in 25 years, intent on reuniting with loved ones and making past mistakes right, with her having already connected with son Peter (Thomas Law), who previously believed her to be dead. Peter's twin sister Lucy (Hetti Bywater), as fans will recall, tragically died nine years ago, meaning that Cindy never had the opportunity to get to know her, which she will have to live with.

Cindy is therefore set to reconnect with her girls later in the week. That only leaves Cindy Jr, who has been notably absent from this historic return storyline. The character, however, receives a mention in upcoming scenes, and if you're struggling to recall who she is then fear not, as we've got you covered! Who is Cindy Williams Jr in E){kind=link}
