However, over The Queen Vic, George (played by Colin Salmon) is struggling to cope after he’s informed that no DNA matches have been found for him and there’s no trace of his birth family. Elaine Peacock (Harriett Thorpe) and his ex-wife Cindy insist that the time has come for George to tell the girls the truth about his heritage before they head to Jamaica, and he reluctantly agrees.
Gina (Francesca Henry) and Anna (Molly Rainford) are horrified when George shares his history and are furious to discover the truth about Eddie and the trial. As viewers will know, George recently
Eddie was only being nice to his adoptive son George so he would be a character witness and give a defence statement in court for the historic murder to get him off the hook. But George had disagreed to take part.

But Eddie tells George that he’s got information about his birth mother and will only hand it over if George gives him a character witness in court tomorrow. George is in turmoil as he mulls over Eddie’s ultimatum, leaving Elaine and the Knight girls desperately worried for him.
Elaine reels in Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) to step in and talk through the legal implications of George giving the statement to help her fiancé to make his mind up. But George is still conflicted.
Following a heart-to-heart with Linda (Kellie Bright), George decides to trust his gut and heads to court where Gloria is distracted by the arrival of a mysterious woman. George arrives at the court and takes the stand, but what will he say?
The next day, Elaine is worried sick about George following the trial. Cindy joins forces with Elaine to try to make George calm down for his daughters sake, but the arrival of a visitor at The Vic changes everything. But who is it?
