George Knight lashes out at Elaine Peacock over her treatment of his brother Kojo in EastEnders
GEORGE Knight will fight with his wife Elaine Peacock over her treatment of his brother Kojo in upcoming scenes of EastEnders.
The Knight family was thrown into chaos last month when George’s brothers, who he’d never met, arrived in Walford.
George (Colin Salmon) was floored when he recently met his long-lost brothers Kobina (Jonathan Nyati) and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho). The pair arrived in Walford hoping to have a relationship with him.
Their arrival has been difficult for George, who was grappling with the shock of discovering the truth about his father Henry’s murder, and his true heritage.
However, he welcomed them to stay at the Vic.
In recent episodes, George has been trying to get to know his brothers better, but spoilers for next week’s episode suggest they will hit a rough patch.
It comes after Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) criticises George’s younger brother Kojo.
Kojo, George’s younger brother, is autistic and is played by Casualty alum Dayo, who is autistic himself.
On Monday, the brothers will enjoy a fun day out together, but when they return to The Vic, Johnny (Charlie Suff) accidentally triggers Kojo, who hits out at him.
During a heated conversation, Elaine explodes and tells George that Kojo has to go because they aren’t equipped to manage his needs, unaware that Kojo is listening.
George tries to calm the situation and heads off to make Kojo a drink, but while he’s out, his brother slips out of The Vic.
When he returns to find Kojo missing, George is distraught and blames Elaine for driving him to run away.
On Tuesday, the police arrive to help in the search for Kojo, as George freezes guilty Elaine out.
Kojo wakes up in his hiding place and heads for the tube station.
Junior spots him and tries to convince Kojo to come back to The Vic with him, but his uncle tells him he wants to go home to Ghana.
Will Junior succeed in convincing him to come back and stay at the Vic?
