“A lot has happened to her. She's been through a lot and she's almost got PTSD – she is a bit traumatised, but still a very strong character," she said. "I think these shows write really well for women and I was really happy with particularly that week and the progression of the script.
"There are some interesting scenes with Phil [Mitchell], as you can imagine," she teased. "I did meet a lot of supporting artists who are still here, and they were really lovely and also a lot of the crew. [They] will make me feel really at home but there aren't that many people that are still there. There are only a handful who really knew Cindy but I am sure they knew her history though."
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
