EastEnders: George confronted Eddie
Last night in Walford, George found out more about the man Eddie had killed – he was actually his biological father. Eddie had killed him in a racially motivated incident.
George was disgusted to find out that Eddie had then bundled his father’s body into a suitcase.
Confronting Eddie over the discovery, George had it out with him. Eddie then explained that his biological father wanted George back but Gloria really wanted a child so wouldn’t let him.
He then started to make racist comments towards George, telling him to get his ‘filthy hands’ off him.
Things soon started to escalate as George’s anger erupted. He was unable to forgive Eddie for what he’d done.

Another viewer added: “Just caught up on EastEnders and I am absolutely livid. That Eddie is a nasty, murdering piece of racist filth. I know it’s only a soap, but these things still happen in today’s world and it’s always important to bring these subjects to light.”
A third fan said: “That man was George’s real dad and vile, racist Eddie killed him for Gloria.”
A fourth person finished: “Wow. Just wow. The powerful acting, it’s something that needs putting out there. George’s “parents” are just as vile as each other. That ‘get your filthy hands off me’ scene boiled my blood. You saw the disgust in his eyes, defo an ep that’s going to stick with me.”
Will Eddie go to prison for his crimes?
Eddie wants George to be his character witness when he goes on trial for the racially motivated murder of George’s biological father.
However, now that George knows the truth, will George help him out? Or, will Eddie end up going to prison for his crimes?
