EastEnders airs crucial accusation in Cindy Beale attack case
Warning: contains spoilers for EastEnders' episode airing Monday 27th January 2025 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
The Queen Vic was left in silence on EastEnders as a new accusation came to light surrounding Cindy's (played by Michelle Collins) attack during Monday 27th January's episode.
Throughout the episode, Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) was acting quite shifty, palming off her sister in order to talk to resident wrong'un Harry (Elijah Holloway).
Gina could be seen in hushed conversation with him, as Anna (Molly Rainford) watched on, intrigued.
While Freddie (Bobby Brazier) tried to keep Anna distracted, it was clear the pressure was piling in on the Knight family – especially after George (Colin Salmon) found the shovel last week.
With Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) cleared from any involvement in the eyes of the police, Penny (Kitty Castledine) threw around plenty of accusations at Anna, suggesting the cops should look closer to home if they wanted to find out who hurt Cindy.
Anna was quite upset – not only at the thought of one of her family hurting her mum, but also of Gina's behaviour – and ended up talking to Junior (Micah Balfour) about it all.

But Junior is also aware of eyes on him, and he just wants to leave to go and join his family in Dubai, so Anna suggesting Gina is being shady was music to his ears.
Later on in the cellar, Gina and Harry had a 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.
Junior thought he'd had it all figured out and went upstairs to the pub. He demanded Gina spill the beans – but he was clearly impatient and did it for her, telling the pub she had attacked Cindy.
But did she? And why was she paying Harry?
