New EastEnders feud ‘confirmed' as Cindy looks set to make a new enemy
The enemy is, of course, Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), who has shacked up with Cindy's ex-husband George Knight (Colin Salmon) over the last week.
A potential new relationship is on the horizon for the former pub landlord in the wake of his separation from his current wife Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe).
Nicola was holding interviews for a new bar manager at the nightclub, and in a bid to distract George from the drug dealing at Kojo Asare's (Dayo Koleosho) apartment, Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) convinced his mum to bring him in.
Upon arrival at Harry's Barn, he discovered that Nic' was actually searching for a bouncer, something which George wasn't interested in.
She knew that she had to buy time, and after offering him a drink and having a heart to heart about recent events, seduced him!
The two agreed to keep things strictly professional, but that clearly hasn't happened.
In tonight's episode, he strolled down Turpin Road singing Boney M's Daddy Cool, apparently a tune he'd sing when he'd done the dirty with Elaine and Cindy.
The women, who have formed a surprising new work relationship, clocked his humming and unusually cheery persona and made it their mission to work out who he was seeing.
Elaine spoke with him in the pub, giving her blessing for him to move on – even if it did make her deeply uncomfortable. Cindy then arrived and saw red, noticing George cosying up to Nicola.
A war of words broke out, and it became clear that Cindy was jealous to see another woman on George's arm.
Is this his final chance at happiness, or are Cindy and Elaine about to put a stop to that?
The two separated earlier this year, when she believed he'd been unfaithful at Christmas with his first wife Sabrina. His son Junior (Micah Balfour) dropped the revelation out of the blue, with no real motive to expose his father other than wanting Elaine to know what he'd done.
She was enraged to hear that Sabrina had tried to kiss him, and George didn't exactly make things better when he turned to Cindy for a shoulder to cry on.
Elaine contacted old mate Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton) for a pep talk, and when he told her to take consideration of her own self-worth, she made the brutal decision to sleep with a stranger she'd just met moments before.
Guilt-ridden, she couldn't keep quiet any longer and confessed all to George. His attempts at making amends and apologising fell flat, as she wasn't willing to take half of the blame.
In the aftermath, his world has dropped apart.
Cindy – living in witness protection and using the name Rose – met George in Spain and they had daughters Gina (Francesca Henry) and Anna (Molly Rainford) together.
She walked out on their plush life to revisit Walford in 2014, where she watched her family from afar, grieving the death of first-born daughter Lucy (Hetti Bywater).

After compromising her cover, she was forced never to see George, Gina or Anna again. It was then that he moved on with Elaine, before arriving in Albert Square in 2023. More Trending
Cindy subsequently returned herself, now being told that there was no threat towards her.
During the last two years she's been adamant to win back George's affections, and while the two did kiss, she turned her attention to his son Junior instead.

Vicki shaken to the core in EastEnders after Joel's twisted outburst
Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) has been left shaken in EastEnders after yet another explosive outburst from vile Joel Marshall (Max Murray). His behaviour seems to have significantly worsened in the last week. As viewers of the BBC One soap saw, Joel discovered that his mum Cleo – who he previously branded a 'slapper' – was getting remarried. He seemed to take the news well, but later headed to The Vic to steal booze with his mate Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall). When they were caught, he began to tear strips off Tommy's mum Kat (Jessie Wallace), and Ross had to drag him out of the pub. Back at home, he decided to allow his dad into his inner circle, showing him a worrying video from a sexist and misogynistic influencer who he clearly was inspired by. When Joel wandered off into the kitchen, Ross decided to delve deeper into his files and noticed that he'd shared countless videos of girls being upskirted or filmed without their knowledge online. Ross snapped, and threw the laptop into the sink before branding his son a 'disgusting little pervert.' In the aftermath, he seemed to target Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) when her SecretCam footage leaked online. He promised that he wasn't responsible and even handed over his devices to prove his innocence. She contacted the police, but ultimately nothing was done. His troubling attitude worsened when he discovered that Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) had aborted his baby, tearing strips off her character in a conversation with Tommy. He firmly believed that she didn't have the authority to terminate the child without his permission. In tonight's episode, Joel charged into her dad Ravi Gulati's (Aaron Thiara) flat, looking to have an altercation with Avani. Her mum Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) was quick to step in and throw him out to stop Ravi attacking him. Let's face it, from history, we know that Ravi would stop at nothing to protect his children! Outside in the street, Joel lashed out at Avani and went to slap her, but Vicki stepped in before he made a huge mistake. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Marching him home, she soon saw his true colours. He reeled off a number of sick ideologies, including his belief that reproduction is the purpose of womanhood. She begged him to open his eyes and wondered if he looked at her any different having not had any children herself. More Trending Joel swiped back, saying that she walks all over his dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and he won't be controlled in the same way. In a truly horrifying move, he asserted that if she pushes him further, she'd find out that a 'proper slapping would do [her] the world of good.' Despicable.

Emotional reason why Emmerdale's Cain was able to afford the embryo transfer
A couple of days ago in Emmerdale, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) fell in the woods while on a walk with Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb). Shortly after, she went to the toilet and realised she had started bleeding. This was a worrying development, as it was a sign that the embryo recently transferred into her body for Sarah Sugden's (Katie Hill) surrogacy had potentially been lost. Convinced that this was the case, Charity then had to discuss what to do next with Sarah. She still remained utterly desperate to become a mum, but neither of them had the cash to pay for another transfer. This is where Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) came in. Eager to help Sarah, he handed her £2k to pay the hospital. She was incredibly grateful, but Cain hadn't told Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) about the money – which was always going to create a problem. Moira has been up to her eyeballs in stress ever since the slurry tank leak. The disaster has seen Butlers Farm get sent multiple fines, many of which Moira has only just about managed to pay off. Because of the latest bill, Moira has been left contemplating her future as a farmer. The money that Cain was secretly hiding would've been a massive help – but he caused a drama by keeping it a secret from her. Moira found this out in tonight's episode because Sarah innocently mentioned it to her. Cain claimed that he had taken out a loan, but Moira knew that wasn't true. At Butlers, Cain confirmed that he had sold some items that once belonged to his mum Faith. It turns out her hip flask was solid silver, so it was worth quite a few quid. Faith absolutely adored Sarah and Cain knew that if she was still alive, she would've done anything to help her with the surrogacy. Once he had told Moira this, she sighed. Of course she understood what Cain was thinking, she just wished he would've told her sooner. The couple were back on the same page by this point and then headed to the pub. There, Sarah and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) revealed to their entire family that Charity is pregnant with their baby. The problem though? She might not actually be. A flashback scene revealed in tonight's episode allowed us to learn there is a very real possibility Charity is pregnant with Ross Barton's (Michael Parr) baby again. After Charity kissed Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) last week, she was thrown out of the house, with Vanessa viewing the move as self destructive. As she stumbled through the village, Charity came across Ross, who was feeling sorry for himself after Steph Miligan's (Georgia Jay) departure.

They kissed, and then had sex and now, Charity is pregnant.
