GINA Knight rocked up Albert Square earlier this month alongside her sister Anna and her father George.
The EastEnders newcomer played by Francesca Henry gets a storyline of her own after she finds out a massive family secret.
Gina Knight arrived in Walford weeks ago
Her father George is keeping secrets
She struggles to cope with them next week
Rose Knight walked out on her own family nine years ago, leaving her then-husband George Knight (portrayed by Colin Salmon) to raise their two daughters Anna and Gina.
But in scenes airing soon on BBC One, the former boxer finds out what really happened to his wife – and his own secrets leave him struggling to cope next week.
Coming up, George decides to seek answers and covers when questioned by his fiancée Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) but his lies are quickly rumbled.
Elaine confronts George and he is forced to reveal all but the pair are interrupted by an unsuspecting Anna (Molly Rainford) who demands to know the truth.
George shares the news about Rose to a shocked Anna but he insists she must keep it a secret from her sister Gina for fear of history repeating itself.
The Knights and Elaine busily prepare for Lola Pearce’s wake while a guilty Anna struggles to stay quiet about her mother.
Awash with guilt, she decides to reveal all to Gina… who insists she doesn’t want to know, unaware of the bombshell hidden from her.
But before long, Gina backtracks, saying she wants to hear the truth about her mum after all.
However, a worried Anna covers and insists it’s nothing.
Sensing her sister’s deception, Gina finally learns the truth from Elaine who believes she also deserves to know the truth like her sister.
Shaken by the truth, a broken Gina heads to local wine bar Peggy’s to drink her sorrows.
Back at The Vic, George panics when he learns that Gina knows the truth about Rose.
Later on at home, George consoles his two daughters but things go from bad to worse as he reveals what really happened all those years ago.
Gina and Anna are left heartbroken by their dad’s actions and the family could be broken by the deception.
But soon enough, Elaine takes matters into her own hands, determined to make things right between George and his daughters and she implores them to hear him out.
Will it be enough?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
