EastEnders‘ George Knight might be close to doing something ‘murderous’ as he struggles to cope with having his father in his house. Since last week, Eddie has been living in George’s home as he dies of cancer, but fans think George might hurry things along as he gets desperate to have Eddie out.
George (Colin Salmon) has long had a strained relationship with Eddie (Chris Fairbank), as the elder Knight had murdered George’s biological father Henry Asare. While Eddie had been in prison for the murder, he was released to stay with George and his partner Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), though the police did not know George would be involved.

His daughter, Gina (Francesca Henry), spent tonight’s episode (18 May) arguing with George over letting Eddie stay. She ultimately decided to take drastic action and call the police to let them know that Eddie was in contact with George, despite that being banned.
Yet, fans think it might be George who ultimately cuts the cord – in the most final way. This comes after the BBC released a trailer for a week of special episodes titled ‘The night that changes everything’, where George is set to make a decision that turns everything on it’s head.
One fan said: “I was confused as to what George was doing in the everything changes trailer but I wonder if maybe he ends up suffocating Eddie or something.”
Another agreed: “It would be fitting if something murderous happens – Eddie being taken out by his son years after murdering George’s bio father.”
George wasn’t the only one featured in the new trailer. Some of Walford’s biggest names were involved, including Ian Beale, Denise Fox and Max Branning.
According to the BBC, the night where ‘everything changes’ is Vicki and Ross’ wedding in June. After the wedding, the Beale, Branning, Knight-Mitchell and Fox-Trueman families will “find themselves at the heart of the drama”, but all for different reasons.
Over the course of a week, the same night will be explored, with new details emerging about what happened to each family and how this will effect them in the run up to New Year.
Posters released alongside the video reveal which characters will be drawn into the drama. Denise can be seen looking at the camera as an upside down Yolande Trueman and Jack Branning, her mother figure and husband, stand behind her. Fans have already been told that Denise is soon going to be diagnosed with blood cancer.
Meanwhile, Jack’s brother Max appears in another picture, with his children, Lauren Beale and Oscar Branning, behind one shoulder, and girlfriend Cindy Beale behind the the other.
Newly elected councillor Ian Beale is also seen with an upset Chelsea Fox behind him. The two currently do not have any connection to each other, so it is uncertain why they have been paired together.
