George Knight’s story in EastEnders is set to get an extended episode

The BBC One soap will air the special episode on Wednesday 14th February 2024 from 7.30pm.

The episode is still expected to be released at 6am on BBC iPlayer and will run for 34 minutes.

The instalment is penned by Lauren Klee who was the scribe for the much-lauded Christmas 2023 episode which saw the death of Keanu Taylor at the hands of killer Linda Carter.

The focus of the episode is on the origins of publican George Knight (Colin Salmon) who recently discovered that his adopted parents Eddie (Christopher Fairbanks) and Gloria (Elizabeth Counsell) lied about his origins.

Discovering that he was not of Caribbean descent as he first believed, George learned he was obtained by his parents through baby “farming” and he was actually of Ghanaian heritage.

Despite the emotional discovery, George was reconciled with his parents, but they were clearly hiding the full truth from him.
