The Beales returned to EastEnders

Here’s a quick recap before we delve into the tweets because A LOT happened in last night’s episode.

During the episode, viewers were reunited with Cindy Beale who was now living with Ian and Peter in France. Peter had been looking after his son Louie, with his ex girlfriend Lauren Branning coming to visit.

It was then revealed that Cindy was under witness protection and was going by the name of Rose Knight. However, she was now safe as her former cellmate had died meaning that she could go back to the life she once had.

Ian had wanted her to move back to Walford before having a heart attack. In the hospital, Ian changed his mind as he found out that George, Gina and Anna were there.

Adding to this, Lauren almost gave Peter another chance to make things work between them before coming face to face with the once ‘dead’ now alive Cindy Beale at the hospital.

She couldn’t believe that Cindy was alive, blaming Peter for keeping this a secret and telling him that things would never work between them.

It’s safe to say that lots happened in one single episode of the soap – we’re still processing it!

Now we’re all caught up (just), here are 10 hilarious tweets about the Beales’ return.

“THIS WHOLE EPISODE?!!? So many questions. Who’s Jackie Ford and why did Cindy had to go into witness protection? When did Ian & Peter know Cindy was alive? Where’s Jane? Is Seal minted now for 2 episodes using his song? OBSESSED,” alongside a rant by Kim Woodburn!

Another referenced the many recastings of both Peter Beale and Ben Mitchell: “I want to see all the Peter Beales and all the Ben Mitchells have to do battle.”
