EastEnders recently had George Knight mixed up like a jigsaw puzzle. The man was already in chaos, and the arrival of his adoptive parents had only made it worse. We know that Eddie and Gloria had been keeping things under wraps from the get-go. But they had finally revealed the past of George’s adoption.
It turns out that George knew very little about his heritage. His beliefs are now in question while he experiences an existential crisis. Nevertheless, an even more shocking twist is set to unravel in the Knight family. Does it involve Eddie Knight? Read as we spill the tea on the latest drama.
George Knight’s Real Heritage Exposed!
Earlier, we saw that George’s adoptive parents gave him a surprise visit this New Year. With their arrival came a shocking revelation of George’s adoption. The Knights confessed that they bought George through a process called baby farming. In the process, the children were illicitly sold to couples and were later adopted officially.
George and Cindy soon realised that most of the information rang true for George’s case on EastEnders. George had previously informed Cindy about his birth parent’s adoption advert in the local paper. Moreover, he pointed out that the people who placed adverts in the papers were mainly African immigrants. George was dumbfounded upon reflecting on clues throughout his childhood. He realised he never belonged to Jamaican heritage. And that Gloria was only agreeing in yes to shut him out.
The Knight family witnessed a showdown between Eddie and Gina before George could have a full view of the facts. Eddie shared a story of a neighbour getting mugged but unwarrantedly mentioned the culprits being Black. He got ugly with Gina and Cindy when the former called him out. Gloria tried to ease tensions and confessed to George that he was right about his assumption. She claimed she’d only been trying to “protect” him all these years. Gloria also revealed having met his actual father once, after which he disappeared. George questioned his existence and broke down with his wife, Elaine.
Another Twist for the Knights On EastEnders?
The massive bombshell from Gloria and Eddie has shattered George. However, some EastEnders fans believe the couple is keeping another secret from the Knights. When Eddie got nasty at the Knight dinner, Cindy commented whether he had ‘done something.’ It led people to speculate that she might know something about Eddie.
In addition, the last scene showed Gloria assuring Eddie that she had only told George “what they’d agreed.” She asked Eddie if they should come out clean with their son. Eddie insisted, saying, “He knows all he needs to know for now. The rest can wait…”Fans predict that Eddie could be his granddaughter, Anna’s actual father. Are they right? What else are the Knights hiding? Stay tuned to the TV Season and Spoilers for more burning updates on EastEnders.
