EASTENDERS fans have slammed tonight’s “cringeworthy” duff duff moment as George Knight’s son arrived on the Square.
The Queen Vic landlord – who is played by actor Colin Salmon in the BBC soap – has been spiralling out control since discovering his mother was buried without his knowledge.
He has been taking part in illegal fights – despite knowing that one bad punch could kill him.
And tonight he was confronted by Elaine, Cindy and daughters Anna and Gina about the fights, with them determined to stop him.
However they couldn’t get through to him with Anna desperately trying to reach her brother Junior to see if he would have any luck.
They didn’t hear from Junior so headed off to put a stop to the fight themselves.
But at the abandoned office where it was taking place George was stunned to come face to face with his estranged son – as his rival in the fight.
“Junior?” said a shocked George.
“‘Ello dad,” he replied but the scene left viewers cringing hard.
One wrote: “Oh that ending was so cringeworthy.
“The episode had its moments but it was definitely one of the weaker ones we’ve had in a while.|
A second said: “The ending was cringe tbh.”
