George Knight (Colin Salmon) has moved on from wife Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) – with an unlikely local.
The two separated earlier this year, when she believed he’d been unfaithful at Christmas with his ex-wife Sabrina. Son Junior (Micah Balfour) dropped the revelation out of the blue, with no real motive to expose his father other than wanting Elaine to know what he’d done.
She was enraged to hear that Sabrina had tried to kiss him, and George didn’t exactly make things better when he turned to his other ex-wife, Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), for a shoulder to cry on.
Elaine contacted old mate Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton) for a pep talk, and when he told her to take consideration of her own self-worth, she made the brutal decision to sleep with a stranger she’d just met moments before.
Guilt-ridden, she couldn’t keep quiet any longer and confessed all to George. His attempts at making amends and apologising fell flat, as she wasn’t willing to take half of the blame.
In the aftermath, his world has dropped apart.
He’s lost his home and job at The Queen Vic after the boozer was sold to Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), and he’s had to move in with brother Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho).
Little does he realise, Kojo has become entwined in his housemate Harry Mitchell’s (Elijah Holloway) drug dealing, after flushing a stash down the loo.
Harry has been forced into selling the narcotics for Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), as the original lot belonged to him.
To make matters worse, Ravi and his associate Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) have begun to use Kojo’s flat as a base for their operations – and in today’s instalment, which can be streamed now, George came dangerously close to finding out.
He’d announced his intention to leave the flat and move in with best mate Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), but by the time Harry showed up to prepare for Okie’s arrival, George still hadn’t vacated the property.

Thinking fast, Harry told him that his mum Nicola (Laura Doddington) was holding interviews for a new bar manager at her nightclub, and that he should head down and apply.
Upon arrival at Harry’s Barn, he discovered that Nic’ was actually searching for a bouncer, something which George wasn’t interested in.
She knew that she had to buy time, and after offering him a drink and having a heart to heart about recent events, seduced him!
George couldn’t resist her temptations, and it wasn’t long before they were tearing one another’s clothes off.
