EDDIE and Gloria Knight have left their adoptive son George with some food for thought as he struggles to cope with their secrets.
Overwhelmed, the EastEnders character turns his back on his fiancée Elaine Peacock and seeks comfort from another woman next week.
Linda Carter welcomed her mother Elaine Peacock back into Walford as the returnee (portrayed by new actress Harriet Thorpe) took charge of business in The Queen Vic.
Upon her return, Elaine made it clear she wouldn’t be alone and, soon enough, her partner George Knight (Colin Salmon) and his two daughters Anna and Gina arrived.
The couple seemed strong enough to face the ups and downs of life in Walford, particularly as George asked for Elaine’s hand in marriage.
Sadly, cracks begin to appear as George is left wishing he could bond further with his former wife, Cindy Beale whom he once knew as Rose.
In a surprise twist, “Rose Knight” was revealed to be an alias for Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) who had enrolled in the witness protection scheme.
Cindy eventually returned from the dead to Albert Square with her husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) in tow and found George with Elaine, his new bride-to-be.
The pair clearly have unfinished business to handle and, in scenes airing next week on BBC One, they seem to finally get started.
Coming up, George is finding it hard to cope with the fall out of his conversation with his adoptive mother Gloria.
