As a full pub learned of the sex secret, an EastEnders family was torn apart.

Fans of EastEnders won’t be shocked to learn that Cindy Beale’s return from “the dead” will lead to some heated scenes in the soap.

Future episodes of the BBC soap opera EastEnders will feature Ian Beale (played by Adam Woodyatt) revealing a significant secret that may sever his relationship with his family.

Fans are aware of how much Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) fancies Anna Knight (Molly Rainford), and ever since she appeared in the Square, he has been attempting to go beyond just being friends.

However, it appears that Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), his closest buddy, will violate his confidence by falling in love with Anna, and Ian will later come clean about it in front of a packed pub.

Gina Knight (Francesca Henry), in yet-to-air scenes, humiliates Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) in The Vic while making amends.

Freddie battles his guilt over Anna, but it’s obvious that they have chemistry.

Later, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), who Freddie confides in, persuades him to keep it a secret for Bobby’s sake.

After Cindy’s encounter at The Vic, Ian comforts her and makes a business commitment to win Gina and Anna over.

Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley) isn’t on board when Peter later convinces Ian to try and make amends with Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth).

Ian has an idea for a new scheme while he is in the café, but he will require funding.

He extends a lunch invitation to Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) in an effort to obtain it.

However, Ian’s business lunch with Nish and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) doesn’t go as planned.

Any prospective agreement will soon be ruled out. Later, Cindy visits number 41 to convince Nish to change his mind.

Gina and Anna are startled to hear that Peter was unaware of their existence when they encounter Peter Beale (Thomas Law) at The Albert.

Additionally, he tries to make amends between Bobby and Anna, but Freddie rejects him and withdraws, plagued by regret over having slept with Anna.

In order to advance his business arrangement with Nish, Ian invites him to the café for a sampler menu. However, without a strategy, Ian enlists Alfie’s assistance.

Nish rearranges, and Alfie and Ian discuss his current insecurities in private.

Alfie discusses his worries about Bobby and Anna’s developing romance before disclosing all about her one-night fling with Freddie.

Ian pledges to keep it a secret, but after being humiliated by George Knight (Colin Salmon) in front of Nish at The Vic, he tells Bobby and Cindy the information without realizing Nish is watching.

Bobby will be upset with Freddie and his dad for keeping it from him, and Cindy will be humiliated for her daughter that Ian revealed her secrets in front of everyone in the Square.

How will Ian reunite his family after disturbing so many of them?
