EastEnders spoilers follow for Wednesday’s (December 29) episode that is now available to view on BBC iPlayer. The episode in question will air on BBC One on at 7:30pm.
Fingers were pointed and panic was aplenty at the Queen Vic after the weapon used to attack Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) vanished into thin air.
Cindy, as viewers know, was whacked over the head with a snow shovel on Christmas Day after her affair with Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) was exposed in a pub full of people.
There are no shortage of suspects, with just about everyone having a motive.
Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) was first considered prime suspect after Cindy claimed to see her at the scene but the police have since cleared her, leaving the Beale clan pointing their fingers elsewhere.
Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) came under fire after the shovel used to attack Cindy was found in the barrel store.
She remained cagey about her alibi on the evening in question, refusing to divulge who she spent Christmas night with, but a shock twist confirmed that it was none other than Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier).
Anna (Molly Rainford) was heartbroken over her sister’s betrayal and a huge row ensued in the middle of the Square as she informed mum Cindy how she hid the weapon, believing that Gina could’ve been the one to attack her.
Cindy was left reeling and thus she demanded answers from George (Colin Salmon), who assured her that the weapon was hidden – and that it would remain that way in order to protect his family.
Cindy, however, was fed up of living in fear and – not knowing who to trust – she urged him to get the shovel and call the police so that they could solve this once and for all.
George agreed to do just that as he headed to the roof of The Vic to retrieve the weapon. To his horror, however, the shovel was gone.

Junior, meanwhile, could be seen at his flat with the weapon in question, having discreetly stolen it from the Vic rooftop.
The question is: why? Is this proof that he attacked Cindy? Or is there another reason why he’s decided to hide it?
