EastEnders: George’s dad sexually assaulted Cindy, a new fan theory predicts

Cindy's not a fan of Eddie - but why?

| Updated:

In this week’s episodes of EastEnders (Tuesday, January 2), George’s parents – Eddie and Gloria – arrived and told him the truth (or at least some of it) about his past.

George struggled to process the news as it was revealed that his adoptive parents were paid to take him in.

However, more secrets are yet to be uncovered and one fan thinks there’s something not right involving Eddie and George‘s ex-wife, Cindy Beale.

The fan has predicted a dark twist that George’s dad may have assaulted Cindy.

EastEnders: George’s parents admitted the truth

On Tuesday (January 2) George’s adoptive parents – Gloria and Eddie – sat him down and revealed that they had something to tell him.

They’d recently been at a funeral which had sparked them to reflect on their past. It soon became clear that had hidden something from George. Gloria then told George that they had been paid to take him in as a child, with George left devastated by the admission.

Later on, as George took his anger out on a punch bag, Gloria explained that she’d always wanted a child and this was the way in which Eddie would agree to let her have one.

Elsewhere, Cindy explained to Ian that George was adopted before telling him that she’d never got on with George’s dad although she liked his mum.

EastEnders fan theory: Eddie sexually assaulted Cindy Beale?

With Cindy clearly not being a fan of Eddie, especially the way he treats her daughter, Gina, a new fan theory has therefore come to light. It suggests that something dark went on whilst George and Cindy were together.

The theory fears that George’s dad may have sexually assaulted Cindy in the past. So, could this be the reason why she doesn’t like him and chose to avoid him?

The EastEnders fan theory reads: “I’m calling it: Cindy was raped by George’s dad.”

But, could this really be the reason why Cindy chose to distance herself from Eddie?

What’s the deal with Cindy and George’s dad?

Cindy told George that if Eddie hadn’t had done what he did then they would still be together. But, what did she mean?

And, why doesn’t she like Eddie? Did he sexually assault her whilst she was married to George as ‘Rose’? Or is there something else she’s hiding about the past?
