Junior Knight, the estranged son of George Knight, will be joining EastEnders. A new teaser for the BBC soap opera suggests that there will be drama ahead, as Junior is said to have secrets.
With the announcement that Junior Knight will be joining the BBC soap opera, fans of EastEnders believe a big surprise has been hinted at.
The part of George Knight’s estranged son is being played by actor Micah Balfour, and there will be many mysteries revealed. Clearly, he is concealing something, and the situation is not as simple as it seems.
We don’t know what brings him back to his father after years away, nor do we know what initially sparked their separation. However, Chris Clenshaw, the head of the soap opera, has also made hints about what will be revealed about Junior once he gets there, and teasers also say he’s “keeping his cards close to his chest”.
Fans now believe they have figured out a major plot surprise involving the character that may blow everything up. After kissing his ex-wife Cindy Beale during his affair with Elaine Peacock, George is presently having problems.
A recent teaser image showed the three of them in a boxing ring, with one lady on each side of George, suggesting they would fight for him. Perhaps, however, George isn’t the one who ends up having a liaison with Cindy.
Some fans think Junior will eventually have an affair with Cindy, which will lead to conflict with his father. Fans took to X with comments such, “I can see a Junior/Cindy affair and when George decides he wants Cindy again and ends things with Elaine, that’s when the Junior/Cindy affair is revealed and all hell breaks loose,” and “Cindy is going to have an affair with both George and other George.” I venture.”
Actor Micah is well-known in soap opera realm; he starred as Belle Dingle’s boyfriend Jermaine Bailey in Emmerdale from 2015 to 2016. In addition, the actor appeared in popular television series such as The Bill, Casualty, The Murders at White House Farm, Death in Paradise, and Doctor Who.
About joining the soap opera, he stated: “I’m excited to become a member of the Knight family and join the cast of EastEnders. The most bizarre experience of my career was entering the Square for the first time since I grew up watching the programme and have known many of the characters for as long as I can remember!
It’s an honour to collaborate with Colin Salmon, whom I’ve admired for a long time, as well as the incredible Harriet Thorpe and Kellie Bright, as well as Francesca Henry and Molly Rainford, who are explosive on film. Junior is a complicated individual who will create some agitation, therefore he’s a fascinating character to portray.”
“I’m delighted to welcome Micah Balfour to the cast of EastEnders as he takes on the role of Junior Knight,” said executive producer Chris Clenshaw. The audience is mostly unaware of George’s son and the reasons behind their separation, despite references to Junior since The Knights arrived in the Square.
“After an unexpected encounter with his father, Junior travels to Walford and is immediately thrown into the centre of the action. But viewers will quickly see that there’s more to Junior than first meets the eye.”
