Strictly star Jamie Borthwick taunts EastEnders fans with cheeky sign about Cindy plot at the World Darts Championships
EASTENDERS Jamie Borthwick has teased soap fans as he made an appearance at the World Darts Championships.
Jamie Borthwick, who has played Jay Brown since 2006, poked fun at EastEnders fans as he teased that he knows who is behind the Cindy Beale attack.
The Christmas Day double bill saw Cindy Beale ((Michelle Collins) lying on the ground after she was hit on the head with a snow shovel by a mystery character.
Soap fans have speculated over who could be behind the attack, but so far the BBC soap hasn’t revealed who it is.
However Jay teased soap fans at the darts event as he held up a Paddy Power board to a rolling camera that said: “I know who hit Cindy”.
The moment has been shared on Reddit, with some fans now even more determined to find out Cindy’s attacker.
One Reddit user commented: “Lol. Clever of him. Does make me want to know so job done!!”
Another shared: “Legend”
However some made a point that Jay hasn’t had much of a storyline in EastEnders lately, with his last major storyline in 2023 after his wife Lola died from a brain tumour.
One Reddit user said: “The most screentime he’s had in months!”
Another added: “This man has not had a decent storyline focussed on just his character for 8 years.
“I’m not Jay’s biggest fan but blimey give the lad some juicy material to work with and let him be at the forefront for once. The Nadine stuff lasted a week tops.”
The Cindy Beale cliffhanger has had EastEnders fans desperate for clues, with some even speculating over who could be behind it.
Just before she was attacked, Cindy emotionally looked at her necklace which featured an image of her daughter Lucy who was murdered.
Many fans claimed that the accessory was not there when she was found on death’s door.
Some started to speculate that this could link the incident back to Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) who accidently killed his elder sister.
Who attacked Cindy Beale: The suspects
Cindy Beale was dramatically attacked at the end of the highly-anticipated Christmas Day special.
But there is question on the lips of every fan, who exactly was behind it?
Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe): She blackmailed Cindy to get out of Walford before kicking her husband George out following his surprise reaction to the public revelation about the affair. Cindy also called her ‘withered’ in her long rant.
George Knight (Colin Salmon): He claimed he was not interested in reigniting things with his ex-wife. But he was left enraged by his son’s behaviour, leaving his relationship with Elaine in ruins.
Junior Knight (Micah Balfour): He was caught suspiciously lurking in the shadows by Denise in the aftermath of the attack. He was hurt by Cindy because she claimed their affair only happened because he reminded her of his father George.
Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt): After finding out about the affair, hew kicked Cindy out in anger. He then trashed his living room, he stormed out the house and appeared to be unreachable at the time of the attack and in the aftermath.
Kojo Asare (Oludayo Koleosho): After finding out about Cindy’s affair, she put him into a coma when she pushed him off a raised platform. Could he want revenge?
Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth): She was the one to find Cindy on the pavement in the Square gardens after she was attacked with the snow shovel. Kathy always remained suspicious of Cindy because of her past and was devastated at the destruction of her family.
Anna Knight (Molly Rainford): Was seen looking out of the upstairs window with a birds eye view of the square at the time Cindy went to get her cab.
Gina Knight (Francesca Henry): Recovering addict Gina snuck out of the Vic with her coat to go on a ‘walk’, just before the attack took place.
Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa): Cindy got Lauren addicted to smack and revealed her addiction to her family, leaving Peter devastated and her family destroyed. Just before Cindy was attacked, Lauren was contemplating taking more pills in the car lot.
Peter Beale (Thomas Law): Cindy destroyed the family unit they all shared by her actions. She then called him ‘stupid’ in her extensive monologue in the Vic which left his drowning his tears.
