But did she attack her mum?[/caption]
So all eyes were on the young woman to prove she wasn’t also the Christmas Day attacker.
Gina explained that she knew her dad George Knight (Colin Salmon) had not been at an illegal fight that Christmas night.
So she threw the brick to misdirect the police towards the Fords, who were previously after Cindy.
George urged Gina to stop protecting him, but with Ian ready to call the police, Gina turned to Cindy in a desperate bid to plead her case.
Gina protested that she couldn’t have attacked her mum as she was having a one-night stand.
But Cindy struggled to believe her and demanded to know who her mystery man was.
Gina finally broke down and admitted she’d slept with her sister’s boyfriend Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier) – right as Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) walked in with him.
Can Anna forgive her sister for her betrayal? Or is the family destroyed forever?
And was George on the night of Cindy’s attack?
Meanwhile, Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) is onto Reiss Colwell (Johnny Freeman) about seeing Bianca Jackson’s (Patsy Palmer) confession to Debbie Colwell’s (Nicola Duffett) murder.
She is adamant that her sister couldn’t have killed Debbie and thinks she lied to get her out of prison.
Reiss is desperately stalling and trying to convince Sonia that Bianca was telling the truth.
Will Sonia see the video and Debbie’s dollhouse in the background to reveal Bianca’s true whereabouts?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and is available to watch from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
Best soap affair love triangles
LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic?
EASTENDERS
Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning’s dad Max in 2007.
Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year.
Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell.
Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler – not realising it was caught on tape – and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic.
Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day.
A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira.
CORONATION STREET
Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street – extending it to bigamy.
He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon.
But it didn’t stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him.
Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband’s nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later.
When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled.
Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price’s best friend, Maria Connor.
Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day.
But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy.
EMMERDALE
Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale.
She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride’s betrayal via a recording played at the wedding.
Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well – until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle.
Robert’s ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair – but fell to her death before she had the chance.
However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair – after which she announced it to the whole pub.
