SHOCKING NEWS!! EastEnders confirms another major Cindy twist as new suspect emerges

This article contains spoilers for Thursday’s episode of EastEnders, which is already available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) uncovered some new key evidence in the hunt for Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) attacker in a big EastEnders twist on Thursday.

The fallout from Cindy’s attack on Christmas night is still tearing through the Knight and Beale families, with many suspects coming under suspicion.

However, fingers were pointed in the direction of Cindy’s former lover Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) in the latest episode of the BBC soap when some CCTV footage of him came to light.

After crashing at her brother’s for the night, Gina got chatting to one of Junior’s neighbours, who soon put the pieces together and realised she could have some vital evidence.

It was then revealed her doorbell had captured footage of an angry Junior calling Cindy’s phone before then kicking some rubbish in a rage – proving that Junior’s alibi that he was ‘home all night’ was false.

Gina took this information to her mum, who had already found out that Junior was in possession of the shovel used to attack her and taken it to the police.

Cindy then went round to confront Junior at his flat, accusing him of being her attacker.

However, she appeared to soften towards him when he claimed to still be in love with her – causing her to think about something he’d said earlier.

Junior previously told Cindy that he thought her suspicions about the Knight side of the family were unfounded. He suggested she take a closer look at the Beales, remarking that the Knights were not the ones determined to keep her locked away from the world.

This initially caused Cindy to turn on Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) in the market, but her second encounter with Junior made her take a look at another suspect…

As she walked home and bumped into Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), a row broke out and Cindy confirmed she believed her former mother-in-law was the one who hit her with the shovel.

Is Kathy really the Walford Walloper?

Fans still have a while to wait until finding out who the real culprit is, however, as bosses have confirmed their identity will be revealed
