EastEnders hints at another twist – as David hides a secret

David Wicks (Michael French) has made his grand return to EastEnders – and we already have so many questions about his arrival.
The legendary character had been contacted by Kat Mitchell (Jessie Wallace), who had become concerned for her pal Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) after noticing her erratic behaviour.
Bianca is, of course, the only one who believes that Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) has implicated her sister Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) for the murder of his comatose wife Debbie.
With nobody believing her claims, she hit the bottle and was later kicked out of The Queen Vic.
In tonight’s episode, she was stunned to see her estranged dad David back in Albert Square, and questioned why he’d dropped into the area. He explained that he was travelling Northbound for business, though it didn’t take long for Bianca to realise what was really going on.
After witnessing her kicking off, David asked Kat about what was going on, and she explained her suspicions that her pal could be depressed or have undiagnosed ADHD.

Over at No. 25, Reiss was taken aback to see David arrive on his doorstep and was quick to try and send him on his way. His unease was immediately noticed, and the returnee made his way inside.
Branding the murderer ‘either a psycho or a sad little loser in a cardigan’, he advised Reiss to take some time away so that he could step away from the drama for a while.
Later, Bianca was furious to see him strolling through the road with a suitcase in hand, revealing that he was going to spend some time in Peterborough to be closer to Sonia.
Convinced that he’d pulled the wool over David’s eyes, her rage was unleashed once again and he compared her behaviour to half-brother Joe Wicks’ (Paul Nicholls) schizophrenia.

But Bianca’s reaction wasn’t to be his only shock, as ex-flame Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) had spent the day dodging him.
After first spotting David making his way into the laundrette, she fled to the alleyway behind the pub. There, ex-husband George Knight (Colin Salmon) coaxed her into the upstairs flat so that she could explain her story.
As long term viewers know, back in the 90s, the pair had an intense affair that resulted in her hiring a hitman to kill husband Ian (Adam Woodyatt) so they could get their happily ever after.
The plot resulted in her being imprisoned, where she was later believed to have died during childbirth in 1998, before making a dramatic ‘return from the dead’ (released from witness protection) last year.

George questioned whether any of Cindy’s old feelings had resurfaced, and whether she would action them.
Although quick to shut him down, she did later approve David in the Square gardens.
Picking up his phone, he declined a call from someone called Holly – before realising who was stood behind him.
Who is Holly, and what will his reaction be to seeing Cindy alive and well?
