George Knight faced fresh heartbreak in recent EastEnders scenes when his mother Gloria collapsed unexpectedly outside the courtroom. The dramatic moment came after George finally took the stand against his adoptive father Eddie Knight, who is on trial for murder.
George had been torn over whether to testify, especially after Eddie threatened to harm Gloria. However, following encouragement from Elaine Peacock and Cindy Beale, George told the jury what he witnessed as a child: Eddie killing George's biological father.
When the prosecution accused George of lying, Gloria stood up to insist he was telling the truth. After the judge adjourned for a break, Gloria told George she was proud of him before leaving the courtroom. George, urged by Anna Knight not to leave things on a sour note, ran after her and found her collapsed in the corridor.
He called for help and told Anna to ring an ambulance. The episode leaves viewers wondering whether George is set to lose Gloria for good.
