EastEnders' Cindy aims to win back George in new scheme
EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders' Cindy Beale makes a bold plan to win back her ex-husband George Knight next week.
The former couple continue to grow closer as they team up following the news that their daughter Anna has been mugged.
Early next week, Cindy's partner Ian fills her in on how Anna was targeted by a stranger while in the queue at fast food restaurant McKlunky's.
Cindy expresses her shock over the incident, but Ian's mum Kathy makes matters worse by spitefully branding her a bad mother.

Jumping into action, Cindy visits The Vic alongside police detective Jack Branning. She urges her daughter to make a statement – which is backed up by George as a good idea – but Anna refuses.
Later, Ian apologises to Cindy for Kathy's rude behaviour. He hands over some flowers, but Cindy is dismissive and makes it very clear that Ian isn't her priority at the moment.

Cindy and George visit the Boxing Den to speak to Phil Mitchell and check the CCTV footage for any clues on who Anna's attacker was.
The pair continue to work on plans together, but when Anna arrives at No. 55 to talk to her dad, she's shocked to find him drinking with Cindy.
After Anna leaves, Cindy hopes to use the opportunity to reel George in. George isn't tempted this time and shows her out, but his son Junior is suspicious as he watches from the shadows.

The next day, Cindy decides to step up her attempts to win George back.
After a row with Ian, a purposeful Cindy gets dressed up to the nines and turns up at No. 55 to speak to George.
Back at the Beale house, Ian is desperate to make amends and he waits impatiently with a romantic meal that he has prepared for Cindy. Is he about to be betrayed again?

Speaking about next week's episodes, Michelle Collins – who plays Cindy – teased: "She's used the Anna situation to bring them together. When things aren't going right for Cindy, she harks back to the past and what life could have been – like she's doing with George and Spain.
"But at the end of the day, life wasn't that rosy in Spain. It's like when any of us reminisce, it's only about the good things.
"Cindy thinks that everything will be absolutely fine if she gets back with George. She is really emotional about it. She thinks, 'I'll go around there, I'll manipulate him, and it'll be really easy,' but she's not thinking things through. Cindy never thinks of the consequences of her actions."
EastEnders airs these scenes on Monday, June 3 and Tuesday, June 4.
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
