EastEnders return 'sealed' as fans 'point out' obvious Cindy Beale attacker
EastEnders has aired another twist in the 'who attacked Cindy Beale' saga, but fans think they know who committed the crime, and it's none of the suspects.
During Monday's trip to the Square (January 27), Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) was acting rather shifty as she tried to avoid her sister Anna (Molly Rainford) and mysteriously spoke to local bad boy Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway).
Gina could be seen trying to talk to the mechanic slyly but Anna could see the pair having a serious conversation. Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) tried to keep Anna distracted from her sister but it was clear cracks are starting to show in the Knight family.

It was only last week George Knight (Colin Salmon) found the shovel used to hit Cindy (Michelle Collins) in the cellar of The Queen Vic. But Gina's antics have left Anna upset leading her to confide in their older brother Junior (Micah Balfour) about it all.
But Junior is also aware of eyes on him as he remains a suspect in the case, so Anna suggesting Gina is being shady was music to his ears.
Later on in the cellar, Gina and Harry had another tense exchange, with her giving him some money, but him revealing if he didn't get it all by tomorrow, he'd put interest on it.
Before they could get stuck into an argument, Anna burst through the door with Junior, demanding to know what was going on as Gina and Harry looked on guilty.
Junior thought he had rumbled what happened to his former lover Cindy and told the pub that it was Gina who had attacked her.
But EastEnders fans are convinced Gina's behaviour isn't related to Cindy's violent incident and the real attacker is Bobby Beale (Clay Milner-Russell).
Bobby left Walford for good in September 2024 after a challenging relationship with step-mum Cindy after he killed his own sister Lucy. He also broke up with his cheating girlfriend Anna.
Taking to X, one EastEnders fan wrote: "Omg Cindy’s attacker is gunna be Bobby Beale isn’t it? #EastEnders."
A second stated: "All the bobby mentions lately !! Just bring him back already #EastEnders."
A third added: "I reckon it was Gina that tried to do her mum in. However, an even better plot twist is that it was Anna. BUT imagine if it was Bobby. #EastEnders"
"The Bobby mention is he on his way back to Walford? #EastEnders", asked one viewer.
"Bobby hit Cindy. He has previous for clobbering women over the head. #Eastenders", pointed out another.
EastEnders airs Monday - Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer
