 and George Knight (Colin Salmon) rendered one another speechless in EastEnders on Monday (August 28) as they came face-to-face for the first time in almost a decade – by accident. The former staged her long-awaited return to Walford, just weeks after it was revealed that she's alive and well, despite having been killed off in off-screen scenes in the nineties. But clever writing and retconning resulted in TV magic, with new information confirming that the character had, in fact, been in witness protection for a quarter of a century, after she turned informant on cellmate Jackie Ford. As if the writers hadn't excelled themselves already, a further twist saw Cindy confirmed to be none other than Rose Knight, the elusive ex-wife of new Vic landlord George. Give them all the awards. Rose was Cindy's moniker while living in witness protection, though her reasons for absconding and leaving George and their daughters Anna (Molly Rainford) and Gina (Francesca Henry) remains to be seen. Cindy was left stunned after setting her sights on George (Picture: BBC) George was equally blown away (Picture: BBC) What we do know is that George, Anna and Gina have struggled to forgive their beloved Rose for what she did, having resolved to move on and start afresh without her. But little did they know that, on the day of Anna's 21 birthday, a complete and total coincidence would see their missing loved one stage her return to Walford. George spent much of the episode in question getting the Vic ready for Anna's party, with some assistance from Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe), whose help didn't go unnoticed by the birthday girl and her sister Gina.
