Former Emmerdale star Micah Balfour is about to arrive in EastEnders playing George Knight’s estranged son, Junior Knight.
The pair have a complicated father-son relationship going back decades. So Junior’s arrival is going to open some old wounds!
And he shows up in Walford just as his dad George is continuing to spiral following his adopted mum Gloria’s death.
The reason for George and Junior’s falling out – and the reason Junior’s come to Walford – are being kept quiet for now. But it soon becomes apparent that George’s secretive son may be keeping a few cards close to his chest…
Micah has spoken about coming to EastEnders. “I’m thrilled to be joining the cast of EastEnders as part of the Knight family,” he said.
“I grew up watching the show and many of the characters have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so walking onto the Square for the first time was the most surreal experience of my career!
“It’s a privilege to work with Colin Salmon, who I’ve watched with admiration for many years, and Francesca Henry and Molly Rainford, who are dynamite on screen, as well as the amazing Harriet Thorpe and Kellie Bright. Junior is an exciting character to play as he’s a complex man, and he’s going to cause a bit of a stir!”
