Stacey makes discovery as Lily goes into labour in EastEnders<\/h3>\n

Cindy went back to Walford in 2014 and watched her ex-husband\u00a0Ian Beale\u00a0(Adam Woodyatt) from afar. <\/p>\n

A heartbroken Cindy was then approached by Mary who forced her to get in her car.<\/p>\n
They spoke in a nearby street where Mary told her it was a mistake to come back as it put her Beale children in danger.<\/p>\n
But then Cindy and Mary were briefly interrupted by\u00a0Arthur "Fatboy" Chubb.<\/p>\n
He asked for the time and began speaking about meeting his friends and getting a kebab. <\/p>\n
He also mentioned his "pensioner" friend, landlady and housemate Dorothy "Dot" Branning (the late June Brown).<\/p>\n
Fans of the BBC soap will remember Fatboy met a grisly end back in 2015, when he was mistakenly kidnapped by henchmen working for Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack).<\/p>\n
Ronnie believed it was Vincent Hubbard (Richard Blackwood) in the boot of the car.<\/p>\n
Vincent raced to save Fatboy, but he was too late as car was crushed in a scrapyard.<\/p>\n
Vincent kept Fatboy's fate from a guilty Ronnie and also forged postcards to Dot from Fatboy that made it seem like he had left the country.<\/p>\n
However, some eagle-eyed viewers believe Fatboy might be still alive.<\/p>\n
The funeral for Dot in December saw a card sharing warm wishes to Dot which was signed by Arthur\u00a0and used Fatboy's nickname for her, 'Mrs B'.<\/p>\n
Written in black ink, the card said: "Mrs B – forever in my heart. Arthur x."<\/p>\n
