A new trailer has heralded the arrival of the Knight family in EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new video set to Muse\u2019s cover of \u2018Feeling Good\u2019 sees George Knight (Colin Salmon) and his two daughters Gina (Francesca Henry) and Anna (Molly Rainford) walk into Walford and towards the Queen Vic pub.<\/p>\n

The trio are greeted by George\u2019s partner and the new landlady of the Queen Vic, Elaine Peacock, now played by Harriet Thorpe<\/a>, who returned to the Square earlier this month<\/a> to form a new business partnership with daughter Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).<\/p>\n

The clip teases Linda\u2019s shock and dismay as Elaine welcomes her new family to the Square before Anna hands Linda a bouquet of flowers.<\/p>\n

However, as the group turn to face the camera for a line-up pose, the flowers in a displeased Linda\u2019s hands have now decayed and withered.<\/p>\n\nIs Linda already regretting betraying her best friend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and going into business with her mum?<\/p>\nThe <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-knight-family-cast-newsupdate\/"\">arrival of the Knight clan<\/a> with a new iteration of Elaine was announced earlier this year as Linda was calling a mysterious potential buyer of the late Mick\u2019s shares in the pub.<\/p> Speaking about the arrival of the Knights, executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: \u201cThe arrival of the Knights brings a new dawn to Albert Square. George Knight is a charming rogue and an old-school gent who dotes on his two daughters, Gina and Anna.<\/p>\n\u201cGeorge will take up residence in the Queen Vic when he joins his beloved Elaine, a powerhouse of a land-lady who knows just how to have fun.<\/p>\n\u201cThe couple will be joined by feisty, determined and demanding Gina, who is as sharp and cool as cut diamonds but with a temper that blazes like fire, whereas younger sister, Anna is fun, loveable, and big-hearted, but don\u2019t underestimate her.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\""image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\""padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?webp=true&quality=90&resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/webp"\"><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/jpeg"\"><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?webp=true&quality=90&resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/webp"\"><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/jpeg"\"><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?webp=true&quality=90&resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/webp"\"><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/jpeg"\"><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?webp=true&quality=90&resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/webp"\"><source media=\""(max-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/jpeg"\"><source media=\""(min-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?webp=true&quality=90&resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/webp"\"><source media=\""(min-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/jpeg"\"><source media=\""(min-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?webp=true&quality=90&resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/webp"\"><source media=\""(min-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/jpeg"\"><source media=\""(min-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?webp=true&quality=90&resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/webp"\"><source media=\""(min-width:\" data-srcset=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\""image\/jpeg"\"><img class=\""wp-image-1832486\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/The-Knights-2-1-2c5af8d.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413"\" width=\""620"\" height=\""413"\" alt=\""Molly\" rainford=\"\" as=\"\" anna=\"\" knight=\"\" francesca=\"\" henry=\"\" gina=\"\" harriet=\"\" thorpe=\"\" elaine=\"\" peacock=\"\" and=\"\" colin=\"\" salmon=\"\" george=\"\" for=\"\" eastenders.=\"\" title=\""The\" knights=\"\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\""caption-hold"\"><figcaption class=\""wp-caption-text"\"> Molly Rainford as Anna Knight, Francesca Henry as Gina Knight, Harriet Thorpe as Elaine Peacock, and Colin Salmon as George Knight for EastEnders.<\/span><\/figcaption> BBC<\/i><\/span><\/div>\nWill Linda eventually come around to her mum\u2019s new family?
