Walford last week, but it\u2019s a different story for Elaine\u2019s daughter Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), who is still furious that her home has been invaded by <a

young son Ollie (Harry Farr), who has autism, walked in to have his breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>As George ushered his daughters away, Ollie told his mum that he didn\u2019t like all the strangers being around, and Linda agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Later, as Linda fumed at Elaine, Elaine stood up for her boyfriend and revealed that Anna and Gina\u2019s mum walked out on them nine years earlier and never got back in touch \u2013 <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/rose-knight-eastenders-cindy-beale-theory\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener

school \u2013 despite the little boy needing his routine to stay the same.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\"

by George.<\/p>\n<p>Linda warned George not to agree to anything pub-related without her say so, and Phil and George sat down together, where Phil suggested a joint fight night between the pub and the gym. They also discussed Phil\u2019s son Ben\u2019s (Max Bowden) grief over <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-lola-dies-final-message-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Lola Pearce-Brown<\/a> (Danielle Harold).<\/p>\n<p>When Phil remarked that Ben has a history of going off the rails during tough times, George replied: \u201cI\u2019ve got a son who does the same.

But when Linda overheard him on the phone, demanding that his bar in Marbella be sold, Linda furiously asked how he had paid for his share of The Vic.<\/p>\n<p>Elaine soon admitted that George hadn\u2019t given her any money for the pub, and Linda ordered him out.

And who is this son that George is estranged from?
