Waring announced on 8 April 2024 that she had been axed from the soap as part of a revamp and that she had been assured Cindy would not be killed off.

Waring has been nominated for several awards for her part as Cindy. Cindy has had many major storylines including teenage pregnancy, coping with the deaths of several family members, marriages to Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard), Alistair Longford (Terence Harvey), Mac Nightingale (David Easter) and Dirk Savage (David Kennedy), being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and revealing that she had a secret teenage son, Alfie Nightingale (Richard Linnell) with Mac. Cindy is the longest-serving female in the show, taking over from Frankie Osborne (Helen Pearson) following her departure in 2017.
