Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) is set to do what Ian Beale does best in upcoming EastEnders scenes, as he blurts out a secret that leaves Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) devastated.<\/p>\n
Bobby has had a crush on Anna Knight (Molly Rainford), ever since she arrived in Walford, and recently his heart soared as they shared a kiss.<\/p>\n
However, things will take a dramatic turn when Anna\u2019s mum crawls out of the woodwork after nine years, and leave everyone gobsmacked as they realise she is the once-dead Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).<\/p>\n
This will leave Bobby rattled, as he wonders how Anna will react to him, knowing now that it was her sister that he killed.<\/p>\n

He is right to be concerned, as Anna and Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) soon head to the chippy together.<\/p>\n
The following week, Freddie struggles with his guilt following the events of that night, though it is clear that there are sparks flying between him and Anna.<\/p>\n
Unsure of what to do, Freddie confides in flatmate Alfie Moon (Shane Richie), who reveals that he needs to keep his actions a secret from Bobby if he wants to protect their friendship.<\/p>\n

Later, Peter Beale (Thomas Law) senses the tension between Anna and Bobby, and attempts to help them repair their relationship.<\/p>\n
Consumed by guilt after sleeping with Anna, Freddie excuses himself and sits somewhere else.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Ian has a heart to heart with Alfie about the insecurities he is facing, and the topic soon turns to Ian\u2019s concerns for Bobby and Anna\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t long before Alfie reveals all about her one night stand with Freddie, before swearing Ian to secrecy.<\/p>\n
Ian agrees to keep quiet, before heading over to the Vic.<\/p>\n
However, once he gets there, he is faced by love-rival George Knight (Colin Salmon). <\/p>\n
When George belittles him, he retaliates by revealing Anna and Freddie\u2019s night of passion.<\/p>\n
This is quick to backfire, as Bobby and Cindy overhear.<\/p>\n
How will they react?<\/p>\n
