EastEnders viewers vented on social media as they watched Junior and Cindy’s romance heat up
BBC viewers have been left angered by a ‘stupid’ storyline in EastEnders as Cindy and Junior’s romance evolves.
EastEnders viewers have watched as Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) have let their romance continue, but the blossoming love isn’t sitting well with viewers.
With Cindy formerly married to Junior’s father, some soap fans feel the relationship is twisted with others labelling it ‘disgusting’.
One viewer wrote on social media: “Look at you catching feelings for your dads ugly ex wife. Junior you’re a disgrace.”
Another added: “I’m shocked how the storyline of Cindy and Junior shagging is still going on.”
Other viewers also declared they are sick of seeing the couple, as one wrote: “Cindy and Junior, Freddie and Anna, Suki and Eve. All about as interesting as watching paint dry. I’d rather see goldie oldies Kathy and Harvey getting it on I reckon.”
Another shared: “I would rather go to the dentist than see more Junior Cindy George.”
“the whole square is being squished to death and then it cuts to cindy and junior just having sex and we’re supposed to care like pls get rid of these people im sick of them,” said another.
Another BBC viewer also joked that there were many things they would rather see instead of Cindy and Junior. Their list included “Phil saying my boy”, “Stacey being poor” and “Sonia being on screen”.
Upcoming episodes will see Junior turn to his father George to confess he thinks he’s catching feelings for a mystery woman.
Admitting that he’s starting to fall hard for his mystery woman, Junior goes as far to say that he’s having feelings for his secret fling and he thinks she feels the same way.
Yet he doesn’t fill George in on all the details and let him know that Junior’s new crush is in fact his ex wife.
Meanwhile Cindy is keeping her secret love affair hidden from husband Ian, but she also has an extra spanner in the works as her old lover David Wicks is back in the square.
The love triangle between Ian, David and Cindy is longstanding, with Ian making no secret of the hatred he feels for David – who he blames for costing him his marriage.
David’s dangerous affair also nearly saw the end of Ian, as Cindy hired a hitman to kill him off and allow her to escape into the sunset with David.
EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One.
