‘No good qualities’ rage EastEnders fans as they beg bosses to axe new character after just weeks on screen

WALFORD viewers are calling for sleazy Junior Knight to be axed from the show because he has no ‘good qualities’.

They are growing tired of his affair with Cindy Beale, with one even calling for the pair of them to ‘do one.’

Junior, played by Micah Balfour, burst onto the Square in May when he was reintroduced to his father George Knight as his boxing opponent.

However,  George, realising the family connection, refused to fight and they got in a punch-up with the staff.  

George took him back to The Vic and he reunited with his half-sisters Gina and Anna.

As he rekindled connections with his family he also stirred up old tensions.

It turned out that aged 12, Junior moved to Peckham after his parent’s divorce and became estranged from George.

However,  he went on to do well for himself,  becoming an entrepreneur with his own business, relocating to Dubai and marrying Monique and having a son together called Xavier.

However, when they returned to Walford he became entangled in various dramatic events, which expose his shady side.

He had a series of trysts with Bianca which lead to the break up of his marriage with Monique.

Then he struck up an even steamier affair with Cindy Beale, played by Michelle Collins, who is married to Ian Beale.

Cindy and Junior have been sneaking off for months behind Ian’s back and the ‘no strings’ affair seems to be getting Cindy hot under the collar.

Junior has been playing games by dating ‘Maxine’ to make Cindy jealous.

Their ‘on-off’ covert relationship is driven by the thrill of potentially being caught.

In fact, the pair have almost been rumbled by George – Cindy’s ex-husband, making him technically at one time Junior’s stepmother.

Things reached a steamy climax when their rendezvous at Peggy’s was interrupted by a dramatic ‘crush’ at the club.

Now it looks like they are about to be exposed by Lauren, who saw the pair getting it on in the office.

Overall Juniors’ sleazy behaviour is not going down well with fans. Many took to X to share their outrage at the character, calling for him to be axed from the show.

One said: “Junior is a class A p***k. No good qualities about him #EastEnders – great scenes in EE overall though.”

Another added: “Junior was only brought into #EastEnders to tick another box, pointless character needs to go soon!”

Many are beginning to tire of the Cindy and Junior affair. When the affair is eventually exposed it is going to set shockwaves throughout the square.  

Many are looking forward to the love rats being exposed, with one writing:“Cindy and junior, there’s deffo cameras in there… can not wait for the story to be over #EastEnders

Another enraged fan wrote: “I’m over Cindy and junior can they both just do one.”

This was a sentiment echoed by another “They need to be wrap up this Cindy/Junior affair IMMEDIATELY! “

It looks like things have reached a crescendo as one fan wrote: “Typical selfish behaviour from Cindy. Lauren could have died and left her grandchild without a mother, but all she is worried about is her sick affair with junior getting found out. I’m so sick of this. l enough now like just end it already ffs #EastEnders
