EastEnders spoilers: The Knight family is rocked to the core by an unexpected visitor
A mystery woman steps into George Knight’s (Colin Salmon) life next week following his search to learn more about his heritage in EastEnders.
Viewers of the BBC soap have seen George’s relationship with his estranged adoptive father Eddie (Christopher Fairbank) following the revelation that he was responsible for the murder of his birth father Henry forty years ago.
He was told earlier this year that he was adopted from West Africa as part of a baby farming agreement in the 1960s, after originally believing he was Jamaican.
With Eddie’s court date fast approaching, George is left conflicted whether to give him a good character reference, which could lead the jury to believe that the murder of Henry wasn’t racially motivated.
In upcoming scenes, he’s left gutted to find that his DNA search to uncover the identity of birth mother hasn’t proved fruitful.
Eddie and adoptive mum Gloria (Elizabeth Counsell) offer to give him the information he desires – but there’s a catch.
During a tense confrontation at their flat, evil Eddie tells George that he knows who his mum is, and if he gives the false statement in court he’ll divulge.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, he arrives at the court and clocks an unknown woman who is in the public gallery.
After the trial plays out, the woman makes her way to the bar of the Queen Vic and asks to speak with him – but who is she?
Could the woman be his mother?
