The Beale clan have been at the forefront of some of the soap’s biggest storylines over the past 40 years.
And with the return of Cindy, played by Michelle Collins, there’s been plenty of drama on the Square in recent months.
Now, Collins, 63, has called for the return of her on-screen daughter – who in real life has gone on to become a Netflix star.
Cindy’s daughter Cindy Jr has been absent from Albert Square since 2015, only receiving a few mentions over the years.
Played by Mimi Keene, since leaving EastEnders, the young actress has gone on to find fame in award-winning Netflix comedy Sex Education.
“I have never met Cindy Jr so it would be quite nice if she came back,” Collins told The Mirror.
“She’s probably too busy, but maybe she can fit us in for a week!”
When did Mimi Keene leave EastEnders?
In recent years, it has been mentioned that the couple split and Cindy Jr has been travelling on her own.
The 26-year-old actress portrayed Cindy Jr on the BBC soap from 2013 to 2015.
