Cindy made her first appearance on Eastenders back in 1988 and goes on to marry Ian Beale after a few romances.
So what happened to her? Last time we saw Cindy she was pregnant with Nick's baby and made her last appearance on the BBC soap in person in November 1998, nearly 25 years ago. Ian is given the news that Cindy has died in childbirth but her daughter survived, with Cindy's sister Gina getting custody of the child.
