EastEnders fans have come to expect the unexpected following the return of Cindy Beale, but they have been stunned by a second character coming back from the dead.<\/p>\n

The popular character Fatboy Chubb, played by Ricky Norwood, has returned to the soap for a one-off special flashback episode.<\/p>\n

Cindy Beale appeared back in Alberty Square on Monday, 28 August, and came face to face with George Knight, who knows her as Rose.<\/p>\n

During tonight's episode, viewers will finally find out the truth as Cindy attempts to explain to George why she left him and their daughters behind.<\/p>\n

As part of that, the soap has included flashback scenes to years ago, showing Cindy leaving George, after finding out about the death of her daughter, Lucy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The scenes also show Cindy watching her ex-husband Ian from afar, showing that she has apparently been around all along.<\/p>\n

At one point, cheeky Fatboy is seen annoying Cindy, asking for the time.<\/p>\n

Fans who have already watched the episode on BBC iPlayer, have shared their pure shock at seeing the soap legend pop up.<\/p>\n

One person tweeted: "I gasped when I saw Fatboy. Such a great character #EastEnders." <\/p>\n

With another saying: "That Fatboy jumpscare omg, never expected that. Bring him baaaack #Eastenders." <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Someone else wrote: "Fatboy and Cindy both in the same 2023 episode of #EastEnders. I can't handle this! @bbceastenders."<\/p>\n

Fatboy is assumed to have died during a dark Christmas storyline in 2015, where Ronnie Mitchell ordered a hit on Vincent Hubbard.<\/p>\n

However, poor Fatboy got stuck in the crossfire, and after a case of mistaken identity, he was thought to be brutally killed.<\/p>\n

A distressing scene showed Vincent opening up the boot of a crushed car to see Fatboy's remains inside, but viewers never got to see his body.<\/p>\n

Now fans of the soap have been calling for the return of Fatboy, Dot Cotton's best friend, in the hope he's not dead after all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Cindy Beale drama is set to continue as she settles back into life in Walford.<\/p>\n

She returned with a bang, as she ended up in a slapping match with her arch nemesis, Kathy Beale, as they clashed once again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
