EastEnders<\/a> spoilers follow for Thursday\u2019s episode (4 June), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn\u2019t yet aired on TV.<\/p>\n

EastEnders has aired a dramatic death in the final episode of the life-changing week in Walford<\/a>. As the sun rises after Vicki Fowler and Ross Marshall\u2019s wedding reception, a memorable night for many residents in Albert Square, which character loses their life, and how?<\/p>\n

This week, George returned to confront his dad Eddie after hearing about the horrific comments he made to Harry about Gina<\/a>. He made it clear that this would be his final night in the house and that he would be returning to his prison cell the next morning.<\/p>\n

It was then that Eddie cunningly revealed the secret deal<\/a> he struck with Nicola behind George\u2019s back, where he gave her cash in exchange for letting him stay in his final days.<\/p>\n

George reeled from this revelation in today\u2019s episode<\/a> and told his dad that he can keep his money. He reiterated to Eddie that this would be his last night under this roof, then properly questioned him on things had bitten his tongue about until now.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gina and Harry had an honest chat about the racism in Eddie\u2019s comments, and it was clear that Gina had been truly hurt by his remarks. She opened up about how she only realised that Eddie\u2019s treatment was racism until she grew up and moved to London.<\/p>\n

Gina questioned whether her relationship with Harry would be able to survive in the long run as they come from different worlds, but she thanked him for stepping up for her and the smitten pair confessed their love for each other.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, George and Eddie angrily discussed the past, Eddie berated his son by calling him weak and a coward for not doing anything when he killed his biological dad. He showed no remorse for his murder, showing that his previous repentance was just an act<\/a>, and made another racist comment. That was the final straw for George.<\/p>\n

Eddie started choking on his medication, but instead of helping, George watched him struggle<\/a> and even drank the water that his dad desperately needed. <\/p>\n

“I hope you rot in hell,” George said as evil Eddie took his final breaths. “I\u2019m going to make sure you\u2019re buried in an unmarked grave, far away from mum. It\u2019ll be like you never existed.”<\/p>\n

Later, in the early hours of the morning, Nicola returned and made two discoveries: that George knew about her financial deal<\/a> and that Eddie was dead. <\/p>\n

As the private ambulance arrived to take Eddie\u2019s body away, George told Nicola that he wanted nothing to do with his late dad\u2019s filthy money. What does the future hold for both characters after this eventful night?<\/p>\n
