Cindy Williams appears in 1998 as a baby played by Ella Wortley and Cydney Parker, and returns on 14 September 2007 played by child actress Eva Sayer. Cindy is the daughter of Cindy Beale and Nick Holland (Michelle Collins and Dominic Taylor). She is the half-sister of Steven, Peter and Lucy Beale.
Cindy Sr. gives birth to Cindy while in prison for trying to have her ex-husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), father of Lucy and Peter, murdered. Cindy has never known either of her parents; Nick cuts all contact with Cindy Sr. after finding out she'd tried to have Ian killed and Cindy Sr. dies after the birth due to an embolism.
After her mother's death, Cindy is taken to Devon to live with her maternal grandmother and aunt, Bev and Gina Williams (Diane Langton and Nicola Cowper). Ian and Steven meet Cindy when they go to Devon for Cindy Sr.'s funeral. Ian suggests naming her after her late mother as a mark of respect. Bev and Gina agree. Bev initially thinks she is too old to look after Cindy. Bearing in mind that Ian has accepted his stepson Steven as his own, she suggests that Cindy live with Ian and her half-siblings. Reluctant at first, Ian eventually agrees, but Gina wants Cindy to stay with her and Bev has second thoughts about giving her up. Ian and Gina briefly quarrel over Cindy before Ian decides that she will be best off living with Gina and Bev.
In 2007, Ian thinks that Gina is sending messages to Lucy pretending to be Cindy Sr., so he goes to visit her. When he arrives, Gina reintroduces Cindy Jr. to Ian.

cut from the green trees
to fill our need,”
