EastEnders' Kathy Beale star on shock 40th twist as she says 'this is just the beginning'

ok.co.uk:

The mystery that's been keeping EastEnders fans on tenterhooks for two months has finally unravelled, revealing Kathy as the culprit behind Cindy Beale's harrowing Christmas Day ordeal.

In a jaw-dropping twist, viewers watched Cindy brandish a gun at Ian, accusing him of the attack after discovering her stolen locket in his possession.

As tensions soared, Ian, cornered by Cindy with the firearm, pointed the finger at Peter. In a dramatic entrance, Ian's mother Kathy burst onto the scene, admitting to a stunned Cindy that she was the one who wielded the snow shovel in the Square, driven by a desire to see Cindy pay for her actions against Ian.

Over the past eight weeks, the list of potential assailants had grown to nine, including Cindy's children Peter, Gina, and Anna, her ex-husband George, and her paramour Junior—who is also George's son.
