George Knight’s (Colin Salmon) family felt hugely concerned in yesterday’s episode of EastEnders as they found the shirt he wore on Christmas Day covered in blood.
Over Christmas, the Knights and Beales discovered Cindy’s (Michelle Collins) affair with Junior (Micah Balfour). It saw the family members clash and argue, with Ian (Adam Woodyatt) then making the decision to throw Cindy out of the house.
With a suitcase in hand, Cindy prepared to depart Walford, only for her life to be put in jeopardy when someone attacked her with a shovel.
Cindy has been in hospital ever since. With the culprit being revealed during the show’s anniversary celebrations next month, it’s left the people involved suspicious of each other.
Discovering George’s bloodied shirt in the under the stairs cupboard yesterday left Elaine (Harriet Thorpe), Anna (Molly Rainford) and Gina (Francesca Henry) terribly worried. Tonight, they set about confronting him, and were surprised with what George had to say.
The landlord explained that after being thrown out by Elaine on Christmas Day, he took off to an underground boxing match to release his emotions.
The trio were stunned by his comments, knowing George had previously promised to never put his health at risk again.
George told his loved ones that he wouldn’t be allowed to train young boxers if his secret got out, so they decided to cover for him.
With that, Anna and Gina headed outside to dispose of George’s bloodied shirt. They were a little hesitant in binning it as they feared getting caught, and failed to spot Peter (Thomas Law) watching them in the background.
So, that’s George ticked off the list. Who will the focus turn to next?
