In scenes to air next week, charming newcomer George Knight will suddenly rock up in Walford, accompanied by his daughters, Anna and Gina.
After they arrive at The Vic, Linda is stunned when George introduces himself as Elaine's partner and reveals that the family has arrived from Marbella to help run the pub.
Linda is incandescent with rage, as she realises that her mum's plan all along when buying into the pub was to invite her fiancé and his family along to join her.

George's arrival causes quite a stir among the other Walford locals, too, as he's instantly recognised by Jack Branning, Phil Mitchell and market trader Winston as being a championship boxer.
Back at The Vic, George makes a promise to Linda that he won't be causing her any trouble, as all he wants to do is build a fantastic new life with Elaine and his daughters.
Will Linda be appeased by his words, or is there more conflict to come for the pair?
