George Knight (Colin Salmon) has been taking to the boxing ring a lot in EastEnders lately in order to release his pent up emotions, but could that be set to kill him?

After learning that his adopted dad Eddie killed his biological dad, and the tragic death of his mum Gloria, George has been putting himself in seriously dangerous situations, much to the horror of Phil Mitchell and Cindy Beale (Steve McFadden and Michelle Collins).

In upcoming scenes, George organises another fight after discovering that Gloria’s funeral was held without him, though the next day he suffers the consequences.

Anna and Gina Knight (Molly Rainford and Francesca Henry) decide to organise a memorial for Gloria in the hopes of helping George to grieve, but things take a shocking turn when he grows dizzy and almost collapses.

Cindy and Phil insist that he goes to hospital, and once there he undergoes a CAT scan which reveals a brain condition linked to repeated blows to the head.

As the doctor reveals that one bad knock could be enough to kill him, Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and his girls are furious to learn that he has been fighting.

Back in Walford, Cindy sees Rufus approach George to pay him for the fight the night before, and is horrified when he offers him another fight.

The next day, Cindy promises an upset Gina and Anna that she will try her best to convince George not to fight again, before later persuading him to try online therapy to cope with his overwhelming emotions.
