text: Jacqui learns of Rhys and Cindy's affair on Christmas Day 2012 and attacks Cindy, who is taken to hospital. Jacqui drags Cindy out of her hospital bed to Rhys's grave where she continues to attack her. Cindy turns to Tony for comfort, although Tony refuses to help her and instead takes Jacqui's side. Tony tells Cindy that if she reports Jacqui to the police then he will make her and Holly homeless. He files for divorce. Holly scams money off Darren, which she uses to buy a new flat for herself and Cindy. Cindy becomes attracted to Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) and feuds with Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson), who is also attracted to Patrick. Patrick and Cindy briefly date, although he leaves Cindy for Maxine. A pregnant Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis) works for Cindy and they initially fight, although Cindy starts to feel sympathy for her when she realizes that Sinead is similar to how Cindy was when she was pregnant with Holly. Sinead quits working for Cindy after she is a victim in a shooting in the shop. Sinead and Holly start fighting and Holly reports Sinead to social services after Sinead gives birth to a baby girl, Katy, and starts drug-dealing. Cindy lets Tony move in with her after she discovers he has cancer and after he accuses Sinead's stepmother, Diane O'Connor (Alex Fletcher) of reporting Sinead to the Social Services. Cindy feels bad when Tony and Sinead both turn on Diane, as she knows Holly really reported Sinead. Diane eventually finds out about Tony's cancer and they reunite.
