Something about Cindy Beale always keeps EastEnders fans hooked. Even when she is gone, her name still echoes around Walford. The drama feels empty without her chaos and charm. Viewers have been waiting to see if she will return to stir things up again. Keep scrolling to know more.
Cindy’s Absence Has Left A Gap
The BBC soap feels very quiet these days. Cindy Beale always brings a certain energy to the soap. However, now she is hardly seen. And fans have started to miss her. Also, when her affair with Junior was revealed, it didn’t sit well with the fans. Yet they loved watching her on their screens. People were always hooked to the screen during her every scene.
Elsewhere, that’s what makes the character remarkable. Many fans are unable to connect to the storylines during her absence. One Reddit user also said that he finds the soap very boring nowadays. He further told that even during some weak plots, Cindy’s selfish chaos also brought an interesting side.
Also, her rising feud with Kathy Beale was the icing on the cake for the fans. They still do crave such tension even today. And when today’s new storylines are compared, they do not match those which kept fans invested. Even the recent Callum and Johnny scenes were dull for them. They want these characters only in small doses. However, the main focus should be on such storylines that bring the same tension that Cindy Beale brings to them.
Even the recent drug storyline is not working well for the audience. People say they would watch Cindy’s drama rather than watch episodes that don’t move forward. She is a selfish woman, yet she is loved. Fans love how she brought tension to the table, and also her clashes with other residents. And without her, the episodes feel dull.
Fans Split Over Cindy’s Future In EastEnders
Reddit users have been talking about her for a while now. Some are ready for her comeback. However, others think her chapter should close for good. One fan wrote, “Cindy is far from the worst. When she’s being selfish, she’s still fun to watch.” Another said. “She tries hard to be the bad one, but never fully succeeds, and that’s what makes her great.”
Others also want her to pair up with Elaine. A few of them said, “She’s done the same thing again and again. It’s not exciting anymore.” Another said they dislike her scenes with Lauren Branning. They feel she acts too selfishly. Many also spoke about her past with Junior Knight. They called it “too messy” and “not worth the retcon”. However, even when some criticised her but they agreed she brings life to the soap.
A user said, “We need characters who aren’t always likeable. Without them, the Square gets boring.” And now that Christmas is returning, fans want Cindy Beale to reappear. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
