Hide AdA brief, but important storyline saw Cindy unveiled as George’s missing wife ‘Rose’ in a huge twist back in June. It was revealed that she’s been living in France with her ex-husband Ian and son Peter.
In a year of people being brought back from the dead, such as Roxy Mitchell, albeit as a figment of her daughter’s imagination, Cindy is coming back after being ‘killed off’ in prison 25 years ago.
And now, her return date has been confirmed and she will be heading to the square very soon, with her return on Monday, August 28. The BBC soap has now released official teaser spoilers for the last week of August, with Cindy’s story playing out across the week.

Ian will also return. He is played by Adam Woodyatt and was last seen in October last year making a surprise special appearance at Dot’s funeral. He didn’t interact with any characters, just lurking in the background during the funeral.
