EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders' George Knight will meet a mystery new character next week, as Eddie stands trial for murder.
George's life changed forever last month, when he discovered that Eddie had murdered his biological father.
Prior to this, George had learned that Eddie was standing trial for a racially-aggravated murder and wanted George to give a character witness in court.
George is struggling to cope with everything that's happened when next week arrives, having been informed that no DNA matches have been found for him, and there's no trace of his birth family.
Elaine and Cindy insist that the time has come for George to tell Gina and Anna the truth about his heritage before they head to Jamaica for a holiday, and he reluctantly agrees.
What to Read Next
Gina and Anna are horrified when George shares his story and are further furious to discover the truth about Eddie and the trial.
Gloria later rings the pub after being coerced by Eddie into begging George to give a defence statement in court.
George goes to see them and tells them to never contact him or the girls again.
Eddie turns the tables by telling George that he's got information about George's birth mother and will only hand it over if George gives him a character witness in court the next day.
Eddie's ultimatum leaves George in turmoil as he ponders what to do.
Worried, Elaine asks Johnny to talk through the legal implications of giving the statement to help George make his mind up, but he's still conflicted.
After a heart-to-heart with Linda, George decides to follow his instincts and heads to court.
As the trial begins, Gloria becomes distracted by the arrival of a mysterious woman, while George arrives at the court and takes the stand.
Elaine is left more worried than ever about George following the trial and joins forces with Cindy to try and help him for the sake of Gina and Anna.
However, the arrival of a surprise visitor at The Vic soon changes everything. But who is it and what will it mean?
