TV legend Colin Salmon reveals George Knight’s danger of death in EastEnders self harm horror

George Knight has had a really difficult 2024 in EastEnders so far, and now actor Colin Salmon has revealed a dangerous road ahead.

Over the past few months, George has discovered a lot of things about his adoptive parents – most shockingly the fact that dad Eddie Knight (Christopher Fairbank) murdered his biological father.

With the truth having come to light, George has resorted to some dangerous coping mechanisms, which Colin has revealed could leave him in danger of death.

Viewers have previously seen George return home with bloodied knuckles, and it will soon come to light that he has taken to underground boxing as a form of self-harm.

‘I think if you look at it as self-harm, it’s just a version of that. He needs to feel something, and he sort of implodes as opposed to explodes,’ Colin explained.

‘In some respects, it could be a lot worse as he says he keeps his violence in the ring. Obviously he is risking his life, but this is all he’s ever known – he looks for certainty in the ring but sadly it’s a very dangerous road.’

Things get worse for George when he decides to testify against Eddie at his trial, but his dad issues a terrifying threat.
