“We filmed everything on location about six weeks ago and I'm actually now filming back on the Square, so that felt very different," Collins told press including RadioTimes.com. "Now I'm kind of right in there and it's surreal. It's very nerve-wracking, but it's also very exciting.”
If she's back filming on the Square now, the likelihood is that we could see Cindy towards the end of summer.
The pair will also be joined by actor Thomas Law as their eldest son Peter Beale.
