EastEnders: Eddie made racist comments about Gina

Since his arrival in Walford, Eddie has made it clear that he has a disliking of his granddaughter Gina.

He’s been very vocal when sharing his views regarding Gina and Anna’s differences, even making the racist comment that Gina ‘needed to be tamed.’

Gina decided to say something last night after her granddad’s behaviour started to bother her.

Over dinner, Gina called Eddie out for his racist treatment of her with Cindy defending her daughter after finding out that Eddie had told Gina to ‘brush her hair’ to get rid of her natural curls.

Eddie tried to defend himself and explained that he wasn’t being racist, with George telling everyone to be quiet. He failed to defend his daughter in front of his adoptive father.

EastEnders viewers now want Eddie to be dealt with and sent packing just days after his arrival.

They’ve taken an immediate disliking to him over his racist ways, with fans defending Gina against her horrible granddad.

One fan said: “Eddie is utterly vile as a character. The way he talks to both George and Gina is disgusting.”

Another person exclaimed: “The evil Eddie deserves nothing but death!!!!”

A third fan joked: “Is it too late to make Eddie the body?”

A fourth viewer added: “Eddie is so foul, his character really makes my skin crawl.”

Finally, one viewer wished: “I hope Cindy gives Eddie hell for speaking to Gina the way he did. I felt so bad for her when he made comments about her hair, and how he spoke about George.”
