EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw promises “big” Christmas for the Beales

Now that Cindy (Michelle Collins) and Ian (Adam Woodyatt) are back on EastEnders, will they be tied up with the drama?

Speaking at a recent press event to press including RadioTimes.com, Executive Producer, Chris Clenshaw, hinted that there could be a huge festive season on the cards for the newly-reinstated Beales.

He said: "You know, it’s the Beales and Cindy’s first Christmas back in Walford.

"It will be a big Christmas in the Beales’s house."

Will they get wrapped up in the Christmas flash-forward drama?

At the moment, all we know is that a man will be killed - but who is the victim?

Six women have been linked to the drama, with Sharon (Letitia Dean), Linda (Kellie Bright), Denise (Diane Parish), Stacey (Lacey Turner), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) all named as suspects.

Could Cindy serve as a seventh suspect? And could Ian end up dead on the Queen Vic floor?
