Mimi Keene as Cindy Junior
Cindy Beale's teenage daughter will cause havoc on 'EastEnders'.
The late soap favourite's child, Cindy Junior, will arrive in Walford to stay with her half-siblings Bobby (Rory Stroud) and Lucy (Hetti Bywater) after their dad Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) agrees to let the troubled teen stay.
Cindy, played by Mimi Keene, will be a "magnet for trouble" when she turns up 15 years after her mother - who was played by Michelle Collins - died in childbirth in prison.
The teenager is desperate for acceptance after being raised by her aunt Gina Williams (Nicola Cowper) in Devon as a baby after Ian discovered his then wife had an affair with Italian lothario Nick Holland, who is Cindy Junior's father.
Lorraine Newman, the BBC One show's executive producer, said: "Mimi is an exciting addition to the show and a great actress.
"Cindy's a minx, creating a great energy within the newly reformed Beale clan.
"With all the children including Cindy to contend with, it'll be a lively household. Ian and Denise will have their work cut out."
The youngster's mother was jailed for hiring a hitman to kill estranged husband Ian back in 1996, and later died in jail.
Now her daughter wants answers about her mother's shady past - and doesn't plan on leaving until she gets them.
