A whole list of suspects have been at the centre of attention as they might be the person behind the attempted murder.

On tonight’s episode, it was revealed that the police have decided to drop the charges against Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa).

They have ruled that there was not enough evidence against her, just as Cindy (Michelle Collins) received another death threat.

As she stayed with Reiss (Jonny Freeman), a mystery person threw a brick through the window with a menacing warning.

On EastEnders, the suspicion shifted to Junior Knight (Micah Balfour), who just wanted to go back to Dubai and be with his family.

However, Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) was feeling the pressure as she was behaving in an odd manner.

She was seen by her sister Anna (Molly Rainford) to be in a hushed and tense conversation with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway).

He issued a threat, saying that if he didn’t get a mystery payment of money by the next day, he would put interest on the repayment.

However, Anna and Junior burst through the door of the Vic’s storage room to demand answers.

Junior then stunned the whole pub into silence when he ran back to the main bar to expose Gina.

All the other customers looked on as he stated: “It was Gina. Gina threw the brick through the window.”

Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) was behind the bar and her widened as her step-daughter was accused of trying to kill her own mother.

This was as Cindy stood still, seemingly in a mixture of both shock and disbelief as Ian’s jaw was left practically on the floor.

He added: “She’s the one that attacked Cindy.”

Fans were also in absolute shock as they took to social media in their droves.

Writing on X – formerly known as Twitter – one viewer exclaimed: “Gina & Harry was not on my bingo card.”

While second sceptic fan asked: “Gina did it??.”
