wrapping filming on the BBC One soap. <\/p>\n<p>Tyler Kinghorn appeared in numerous episodes of the long-running drama, set in the fictional London borough of Walford, this week playing the role of

landlord George and the two welcomed baby Ivy just weeks ago. <\/p>\n<p>Eddie, who was last seen on screen in 2024 after he was sentenced, got in touch from hospital to reveal that he\u2019s dying, claiming he wanted to make things right with George before he passes away. <\/p>\n<p>Nicola, however, sensed that scheming Eddie had ulterior motives and thus urged George to proceed with caution where the vile racist was concerned. <\/p>\n<p>However, the situation soon took a turn when Eddie offered her a significant amount of money if she allowed him to come live with her at No.1 until he dies. <\/p>\n<p>With her businesses struggling finically, Nicola felt she had no choice but to take Eddie up on his offer, subsequently organising with his probation officer Bruce to set the move in motion. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SEI_297274391-35fe.jpg\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28381934\"

Eddie\u2019s, with her connection to George kept under wraps for fear it might sabotage her plans.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tDon&#8217;t miss a Soaps scoop!
