EastEnders Spoilers follow.

EastEnders has hinted at drama for Ian Beale as ex-lovers David Wicks and Cindy Beale reunite in first-look photos.

Newly released images from an upcoming storyline reveal that Ian will spot the former lovers catching up once David makes a surprise return to Walford.

Cindy has been at odds with Ian for months and at the same time is having a secret affair with ex-husband George Knight’s son Junior behind her partner’s back.

She was also recently responsible for convincing Ian’s son Bobby to leave Walford so she could push her daughter Anna (also Bobby’s ex-girlfriend) to get together with Freddie Slater.

Meanwhile, Cindy’s former boyfriend David will return to Walford following the reappearance of his daughter Bianca Jackson in the Square.

In the 1990s, half-brothers David and Ian engaged in an infamous feud over Cindy’s affections. The rivalry erupted when David had an affair with Cindy during her marriage to Ian.

David and Cindy had planned to run away along with their twins Peter and Lucy Beale, but he ultimately backed out when he learned that Cindy had hired a hitman to kill Ian.

He was last seen leaving Walford a decade ago after his attempt to save his relationship with Bianca’s mother Carol Jackson failed.

Speaking about his return for a brief appearance, actor Michael French teased: “I’m honored to have been asked to reprise the role of David Wicks. It may only be a short visit, but we know from his past that David never fails to create a lot of drama in a very short period of time.

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One. The show will also be streamed on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes will air at 6am ahead of TV broadcast.
