Loved the way Cindy casually pours the chilli powder in. And now she's back !

[@colamar8253]

Nearly nine years later and two of them aren't ghosts anymore 😂😂

[@joey-xq3ei]

🤣🤣 I don’t think any of them were ghosts I think it was just a dream Ian had

[@quintuscrinis8032]

​@@joey-xq3eiI think the point was that two of them are apparently well and alive just pretending to be dead for a while.

[@joey-xq3ei]

@@quintuscrinis8032 yeah I know I was just saying Ian had a dream they didn’t visit him like people thought. I usually see dead people myself after about 7 pints

[@matthancock260]

😂

[@jhorrorfan2116]

​@@joey-xq3eiare we going to bring Lucy and pat back too lol

[@melissaclark1051]

Two of the ghosts turned out to be alive and had faked their deaths

[@alexjones1985]

Can just hear Peggy "I AINT PAT'S FLAMIN' CLEANER!"

[@TheKingMacgregor]

Find it hilarious now that Kathy is actually back on the show.

[@susu130390]

Le Champion same here

[@lewi98]

So will Cindy

[@LisaWoodcock]

and now Cindy is back! I'm ready for Pat too!

[@StephenStepz]

And now Cindy is coming back

[@Ltforlife22]

Fun fact: Kathy, Pat, Lucy & Cindy have all re-appeared in Eastenders after this special!!LITERALLY ALL OF THE GHOSTS😂

[@deef9734]

I lost it at Ian and Lucy :(

[@alexjones1985]

Billy "I think you'll find that I run the square now, Ian". Ian. " 'Ang on, if you run the square, why's Mum not livin' the life she wants, if you love 'er?" Kathy. "Good point. Why am I still stuck 'ere, Billy?" Billy. " Thanks a LOT, Ian !"

[@MJQueenForever]

OMG MARTINE on the the radio singing THIS IS MY MOMENT 😭😭😭😭😭 TIIIIIIIFF! GOD I miss her! My Tifffffanaaaay Mitchell 😍

[@billydeeuk]

All of the songs played on the radio in that clip were from Eastenders stars (Nick Berry, Sid Owen, Michelle Gayle, Anita Dobson and Martine McCutcheon)

[@laminage]

@@billydeeuk That is so impressive. In The US alot of Soap Actors are musically inclined many of which did Broadway Musicals like Dreamgirls, Grease and Hairspray. For many Grease was the Bread & Butter of alot of Actors.

[@OldManBill1]

How Ironic, Kathy Really Did Come Back From The Dead A Year Later!

[@MarkoMentos]

3 months later actually

[@patrickcrowe3299]

And Cindy is coming back

[@TheMrArsenalPodcast]

And now his Ex Cindy is about to make a return from the dead when he returns this summer lol one day we are guna see Den Watts step out the shower and it will turn out all this has been a dream lol

[@KarlDowney]

Kathy & Cindy returned. Pat returned as a ghost. Just waiting for Lucy now. 🤣

[@JohnnyLCob]

*I reckon Billy would be quite scary as a mob boss.*

[@WhovianLife]

And now.. Cindy’s coming back! 😳😳

[@passionflower730]

Yes she is...

[@dellarobinson164]

I know this was years ago but it always has me in tears

[@BobBarnes2005]

this was a segment for Children in Need 2014

[@dellarobinson164]

I know that but imagine having the chance to see your loved ones again

[@SobrietyandSolace]

@@dellarobinson164 Makes you remember not to take them for granted

[@AS-wj1du]

😢

[@connorsams95]

And now, only 50% of the ghosts of Ian Beale are actually dead 😂

[@Timalay]

For now.

[@josephwalsh2822]

And since then 2 out of the 4 ‘dead’ characters have come back! 😂

[@joey-xq3ei]

1:36 I imagine this is what the dynamic is going to be like in 2023 when Ian returns with Cindy.

[@arthurvasey]

They can create all kinds of alternative universes on the Children In Need specials, without it impacting on the series as a whole - one year, they came up with East Street - a bizarre crossover between EastEnders and Coronation Street that saw some of the characters from one visiting the other! Presumably with special collaboration between the makers of each programme, as they are on different channels over here!

[@tomhiggins6542]

Best episode EE managed in the last ten yrs.

[@ridealongwithnicolle1581]

This was a classic.

[@alannahfidler3418]

Shame they didn’t bring Pete back, would of made sense him being Billy especially the ‘treacle’ line

[@shaf621]

It was a nice touch that they featured the signature songs of the former EastEnders actors with ' Sweetness' by Michelle Gayle 2:54 and 'Perfect Moment' by Martine McCutcheon 5:53.

[@julieannu]

The whole soundtrack is connected, Every Loser Wins, Anyone Can Fall in love, reference to Something out of Nothing, I’m sure there’s others I’ve missed

[@charlottecleeton9762]

Also good thing going Sid Owen cover 1:40

[@SobrietyandSolace]

What nice little details, thank you all

[@43155]

And hearing Anita Dobson song playing in the vid, and Shane Richie

[@MrPARKERSBIRD]

​@@43155Shane Ritchie? I missed that one.

[@r4h4al]

This was great!

[@MrHJW1995]

I want one week of episodes where Billy runs the square. Just to see what it would be like.

[@bleeuk]

where is the eposide where ian sees i think Laura beale at his home haunting him that was around 2011-2012 i cant find that, it was in the featured east enders eposide not a special, around the same time he was recovering from being homeless

[@Darren-wi2kt]

Kathy & Cindy are literally resurrected!!

[@tomg6220]

​@RainyDays112 diffrence is there death's was scene Kathy and Cindy's wasn't

[@mancityfan45]

thank you so so very much !!

[@Kibouo]

1:40 funny how this is actually happening on EastEnders now lol

[@belanna_girl164]

Ian: lus LUCY can't believe you're here oh Lucy what happened to you who did this to you Lucy: I finish your crossword Ian: wakes up from a blast from the past dream but Kathy isn't really dead

[@Mo.villa123]

Ian an lucy part was sad

[@Jj.Burford21]

The Last Time He Would Off Seen Lucy As She Goes Back Up To Heaven Which Is The Saddest Part 🥺🥺

[@WelshWing98]

Ironic now that Kathy and Cindy are alive 😂

[@Timalay]

Just Lucy and Pat next

[@ukdrillpage3837]

Ronnie & Roxy next

[@Timalay]

@@ukdrillpage3837 That's kinda of not the point. The point of this was in the Children in Need 2014 special 4 characters came back from the dead (in a dream). But 2 of them have since come back from the dead for real.

[@ryxan2010]

Kathy returned from the dead and now Cindy is coming back from the dead.

[@user-ol1dd5ez8g]

Rest in peace Lucy B💔😇😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@ladytesha1]

This was really creepy, and everyone is still in the show right now to this day.

[@HahaHa-gw4qd]

Cindy Beale never actually died onscreen... Ian was just told she had died, we never saw it actually happen. Therefore theres nothing stopping Cindy returning...

[@HahaHa-gw4qd]

Phil KZbin Thats what i like to think about every show..: if you dont actually see the death, then theres a possibility that they are alive :)

[@--Fish]

@@HahaHa-gw4qd I'm pretty sure that Cindy's body was identified

[@laminage]

@@HahaHa-gw4qd That happens alot of US Soaps and when folks ask where they were they explain. They were working for an "Agency", they were on an Island that they couldn't get off of or they have a longlost Twin Brother or Sister. I love UK Soaps, there's a Comedic vibe that we don't always see. In 2011 when Erika Slezak Celebrated 40 Years on One Life To Live, she did a fantasy sequence with old cast members and her Multiple Alter Egos, Jean, Tommy, and Nikki.

[@AnthonyDeanChannel]

@@--Fish her body was never identified I watched every single episode lol

[@--Fish]

@@AnthonyDeanChannel I saw it on BBC1, Ian went to identify her

[@mysteriousmat]

Yes I think wish this was eastenders being aired today

[@jrb1802uk]

Was quite sad when Lucy walked into the light at the end

[@BRUTUALTRUTH]

Hate Eastenders but Ian seeing his daughter was so poignant.

[@robertbrighton9797]

Would of been brilliant if Arthur Fowler and mark fowler returned for this

[@anneboleyn180]

mhm

[@johnjohnsilver]

Pete and Pauline too

[@BelJbraithwaite22]

@@johnjohnsilver he could have come back but Pauline couldn't because Wendy died Arthur and Mark could have too

[@AS-wj1du]

Pat making Peggy and Dot the cleaners 😂 Lucy, Kathy and Cindy alive. Frank also alive. Maybe Pete and Pauline too amd Arthur. At that point the Arthur actor was alive. Aww Ian wanting to see Lucy. So sweet

[@43155]

Wendy Richard died in 2007 so doubt they’d if brought Pauline back.

[@cherrybelle7956]

Wow cindy has aged jn last ten yrs❤❤❤

[@jonnythegamemaster]

Half of these ghosts are still alive. Who's being resurrected next?

[@Johnno9989]

As weird as that sounds, I think Billy and Kathy make a great couple.

[@charlottepoppy-dh8ey]

I like to believe they were all hallucinations, except Lucy. Her goodbye was too real and heartbreaking to be Ian’s imagination.
