After knocking the door, Cindy then pushed by Ian and came face to face with Ian’s ex wife – Jane Beale. Jane’s only back for a ‘short’ while (Credit: BBC) EastEnders confirm that Laurie Brett’s return as Jane will be temporary With Jane Beale being revealed as Ian’s secret, viewers are bound to be ecstatic over the icon’s comeback. The soap has now confirmed though that the character of Jane Beale will only be back for ‘a short stint.’ However, fear not, Laurie Brett has promised that Jane’s return (albeit temporary) will bring with it ‘intense, exciting and emotional’ drama. Speaking about Jane’s interaction with Cindy, Laurie teased: “There is a lot of drama, certainly, between these two women! But they are both mothers – funnily enough, of the same children – and most mothers would do anything for their kids. What Jane did in that terrible moment with Lucy is unfathomable, but before that, she spent 15 years being a great mum to Cindy’s kids. Cindy is angry with Jane, and she also feels guilty that she wasn’t there, so she’s lashing out for all sorts of different reasons. They have both made mistakes, and they both know that, so it’s quite complex.” We can only imagine the scenes which are yet to play out… with Cindy meeting the person who helped cover up her daughter’s murder.
