EastEnders fans are talking about Cindy Beale’s massive return from the dead. Some viewers absolutely hate her selfish way, but others think that she is far more entertaining than any other character brought back to the Square.
Elsewhere, the audience has many strong opinions about her unrepentant behaviour and whether reviving her was a good idea. Keep scrolling to see what everyone is saying.
Fans Discuss Cindy’s Entertainment Value And Constant Drama
Viewers of the BBC soap love how unapologetically awful and selfish Cindy is. In fact, many argue that everyone knows a real-life person just like her who never takes accountability.
Elsewhere, some strongly agree that killing off Steven and Lucy Beale was a short-sighted choice, as watching them clash with their resurrected mum would have been brilliant.
Also, people are loving her ongoing frenemy spats with Elaine. Even her regular drunken shouting matches with Kathy and is a massive hit with the audience. However, critics are incredibly tired of her constant affairs.
Hence, they even branded her storyline with Junior as dreadful and pointless. Meanwhile, fans prefer her comeback to Dirty Den’s old return. They point out that Den came back too soft whereas Cindy never lost her classic villainous edge.
What EastEnders Viewers Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “I know she’s a marmite character but I think bringing her back from the dead was the best choice and better than all the other characters who were brought back. I love Kathy, but Cindy is far more entertaining as a character. Dens’ return unfortunately tainted his character. Cindy’s selfish ways never fail to entertain me. Is she a horrible person? Yes. Is she a good character? Yes. The thing is, she’s an exaggerated person, but the thing is she’s not unrealistic.”
Another shared, “Once you figure out that Cindy was never a good guy, you enjoy her character a lot more. At least I do. Wasn’t keen on the Junior affair but she’s been fun to watch since she returned. She’s not as bad a villain as Janine or universally loved like Sharon and Stacey, but she’s somewhere in the middle. Her chaos always brings entertainment.”
Elsewhere, a third wrote, “You’ve described her down to a tee. I’m not a great lover of Cindy if I’m honest. I know it’s a character but I hate how she plays the victim all the time and expects everyone to rally round after her, but she herself always puts herself first. I also find Michelle can play her a bit OTT at times. Not sure if that’s the script or MC herself. Whilst I don’t mind her being back, I wouldn’t be disappointed if she left either.”
Someone else commented, “I CANNOT believe she has grown on me. Love her frenemy spats with Elaine, we need more of them together!” Meanwhile, do you think bringing Cindy Beale back from the dead was worth it? Let us know in the comments section.
