EastEnders<\/a> has aired shocking revelations for publican George Knight (Colin Salmon<\/a>) in an extended special episode on Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BBC One soap centred the entire episode on George discovering the truth about his origins<\/a> following his recent discovery that his adoptive parents Eddie (Christopher Fairbank) and Gloria (Elizabeth Counsell)<\/a> had obtained him as a toddler via \u201cfarming\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

George\u2019s biological parents had paid the Knights to foster George to give him a better life while they improved their own in the UK. George was also told he was of Caribbean descent but learned his biological parents were Ghanaian.<\/p>\n

Eddie had always displayed prejudiced beliefs and George made excuses for him as being \u201cold-fashioned\u201d and sought his father\u2019s approval through his boxing career.<\/p>\n
