The Christmas Day double bill saw Cindy Beale ((Michelle Collins) lying on the ground after she was hit on the head with a snow shovel by a mystery character.

Soap fans have speculated over who could be behind the attack, but so far the BBC soap hasn’t revealed who it is.

However Jay teased soap fans at the darts event as he held up a Paddy Power board to a rolling camera that said: “I know who hit Cindy”.

The moment has been shared on Reddit, with some fans now even more determined to find out Cindy’s attacker.

One Reddit user commented: “Lol. Clever of him. Does make me want to know so job done!!”

Another shared: “Legend”

However some made a point that Jay hasn’t had much of a storyline in EastEnders lately, with his last major storyline in 2023 after his wife Lola died from a brain tumour.

One Reddit user said: “The most screentime he’s had in months!”

Another added: “This man has not had a decent storyline focussed on just his character for 8 years.

“I’m not Jay’s biggest fan but blimey give the lad some juicy material to work with and let him be at the forefront for once. The Nadine stuff lasted a week tops.”

The Cindy Beale cliffhanger has had EastEnders fans desperate for clues, with some even speculating over who could be behind it.

Just before she was attacked, Cindy emotionally looked at her necklace which featured an image of her daughter Lucy who was murdered.

Many fans claimed that the accessory was not there when she was found on death’s door.

Some started to speculate that this could link the incident back to Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) who accidently killed his elder sister.
