This follows the release of the Christmas trailer, teasing how Cindy and Junior’s long-running affair will finally be exposed. And, with the trailer showing a myriad of shocked and appalled faces all reacting to news (or more specifically audio) of the torrid affair, Cindy is about to become very unpopular in Walford indeed. Will the soap kill Cindy off… again? How will George and the family react to Cindy’s betrayal? (Credit: BBC) EastEnders fans predict Christmas whodunnit as Cindy dies Reacting to the release of the trailer, viewers were quick to share their theories online.

Cindy is killed on Christmas Day in a whodunnit and the culprit is revealed on 40th anniversary,” wrote one fan on X.

Please kill her off again,” wrote another. The truth comes out at Christmas (Credit: BBC) Cindy and Junior’s affair exposed This fan theory comes in the wake of a new trailer from the BBC – which shows exactly how the truth will come out. As the Knights and the Beales gather for a family Christmas, Anna comes across a USB containing audio evidence of the affair (thanks Freddie). Cindy is desperate to reclaim the USB – but is evidently unsuccessful. The trailer shows the residents of The Vic looking on in shock as George plays Cindy’s tape – leading some viewers to dub the storyline as a ‘rehash’ of Sharongate. And, with Ian and George looking particularly appalled, shockwaves ring around the Square. As the truth comes out, Cindy is left out in the cold. How will Cindy and Junior’s families take the news?
