The Knight family arrive in Walford
George Knight arrives in Walford, with his daughters – Anna and Gina – not far behind. As they arrive at The Vic, Linda is stunned when George introduces himself as Elaine’s fiancé.
He explains that they’ve come from Marbella to help Elaine run The Vic. Linda is furious when she realises that Elaine’s plan all along was to invite her new man and his family to take over The Vic.
George clashes with Nish
Meanwhile, George’s sudden arrival causes a stir among the menfolk when Phil, Jack and Winston recognise him as a former championship boxer.
George quickly makes an enemy of Nish, who soon understands that this isn’t a man to be messed with.
Back at The Vic, George assures Linda that he’s not out to cause trouble with anyone. He explains that he just wants to build a life in Walford with Elaine and his girls.
Love at first sight for Bobby as the girls ruffle feathers
When Bobby sees the Knight girls, he’s instantly smitten. However, Kathy is less keen, and snaps at Anna and Gina when they bring their pet chihuahua into the café.
The girls continue to make enemies when they try to kick off a party at The Vic to celebrate their arrival. This doesn’t go down well with the pub’s punters, who are still in shock at Lola’s death. Can the Knight family win over their new neighbours?
