GEORGE Knight got down on one knee in the Queen Vic, asking for Elaine Peacock’s hand in marriage.
But the Knights are struggling to come to terms with old secrets, prompting the Vic landlady to make a big decision in EastEnders.
Elaine and George are engaged
Three other Walford women are also getting ready for their own weddings
But Elaine makes a decision about her own nuptials
Nine years have gone by since George (played by Colin Salmon) last saw his wife Rose.
Upon his arrival in Albert Square, it was revealed that Rose walked out on George, leaving him to raise their daughters Anna and Gina alone.
After some time, George bumped into Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and the pair became romantically involved.
The couple rocked up Walford in early June, 2023, taking over business at The Vic alongside Linda Carter.
George recently proposed to Elaine in front of amazed Walford resident in The Queen Vic.
But just as they were getting ready to change things up in the iconic pub and take their relationship to a whole new level, some of George’s past came back to haunt him.
In recent scenes of the BBC One soap, George was told by Phil Mitchell that Rose wasn’t who she said she was.
The news came as a shock to his daughter Anna (Molly Rainford) who was sworn to secrecy but Elaine ultimately decided Gina (Francesca Henry) had every right to know.
Gina almost spiralled out of control and in scenes airing next week, both sisters are clearly still reeling.
Elaine asks the Knight girls to be her bridesmaids, but they aren’t keen.
George advises her not to push it with them, and downbeat Elaine confides in Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) about her disappointment.
After a pep talk from Kathy, Elaine decides to take the pressure off everyone by delaying her wedding plans.
But after doing so, she decides to be fairy godmother to Walford’s other brides – Kathy Beale, Kat Slater and Sharon Watts.
The Vic landlady has the idea of helping them organise their nuptials at her “Bride Club.”
Elaine hosts the first session of Bride Club, complete with Ravi Gulati’s hors d’oeuvres and blind wine tasting.
Unfortunately, things take a nasty turn between Walford’s biggest frenemies Kat and Sharon and a row ensues.
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
