EastEnders villain Eddie Knight<\/a> spits his venom at his granddaughter Gina next week, when he makes cruel remarks about her.<\/p>\n

At the start of the week, George takes Eddie to Knight Fusion for a meal. However, he’s delighted when his daughter Gina arrives at the restaurant, after she previously declined her dad’s offer to dine out with her adoptive grandad\u2026<\/p>\n

“George is trying to make the best of having killer Eddie living with his family, but so far, Gina hasn’t been receptive,” our EastEnders insider reminds us. <\/p>\n

“When deluded George sees Gina enter the restaurant, he’s elated to think that she’s changed her mind and wants to bond with Eddie, but he soon realises he’s sorely mistaken.”<\/p>\n

George’s joy is short-lived as it transpires that Gina is only there to summon him home because Nicola Mitchell is panicking about daughter Ivy.<\/p>\n

As George rushes off to help Nicola with their baby, Gina is left all alone with perilous pensioner Eddie\u2026<\/p>\n

“Eddie tries to chat to Gina once George has gone, but she isn’t having a bar of it,” continues our spy. “She totally ignores his attempts to converse and takes him back home in stony silence.<\/p>\n

“Gina’s strength lies in the fact that she can hold her own \u2013 even a bigoted murderer doesn’t faze her.”<\/p>\n

Later, hot-headed Harry Mitchell becomes protective of his girlfriend Gina when Eddie makes pointed jibes and criticises her to her face.<\/p>\n

Will George finally listen to Gina’s reservations about having Eddie stay? Or is Eddie’s reign of terror in the Knight household only just beginning?<\/p>\n

Christopher Fairbank’s return to the role of Eddie<\/a> was first revealed last month, when show bosses confirmed that he’d be back on our screens for a short stint.<\/p>\n

Eddie has come back to live with George following the news that he’s terminally ill<\/a>. He forced his way in by bribing a cash-strapped Nicola, promising her money if she persuaded George to let him stay.<\/p>\n

Unaware of the financial motivation, George has relented over the idea \u2013 facing understandable opposition from Gina along the way.<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast. <\/p>\n
