Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) has impeccable timing…or terrible timing,

depending on which way you look at an event that occurs next week in EastEnders.

Bobby got a huge shock in recent episodes when he came face to face with mum

Jane (Laurie Brett). He hadn’t seen her for years after the Bobby of old killed Lucy Beale and paralysed his mum after beating her with a hockey stick. Following a little bit of hesitation, Bobby sat down and eventually opened up to Jane. They spoke about forgiveness as Jane told Bobby that she’s able to move past everything he did because she loves him. Elsewhere, after Jane’s sudden return, Cindy (Michelle Collins) told Ian (Adam Woodyatt) that she was sorry for accusing him of having an affair, and they could start over because of how much they mean to each other. Five minutes later though (well, maybe a bit longer), Cindy decided to start an affair with Junior (Micah Balfour). Coming up, Cindy and Junior arrange another afternoon together at Number 45, but their plans are scuppered because Peter (Thomas Law) has to attend a meeting, and cannot manage Beale’s Eels.

Cindy asks Bobby to help by promoting him to manager, but it’s very clear he isn’t really up to the job. As Bobby continues to try and prove himself, he gets suspicious when Cindy slips away claiming she has a migraine. At Number 45, as Cindy and Junior prepare to go upstairs again, Bobby arrives.
