EastEnders fans all have the same complaint about Colin Salmon’s arrival as George Knight

EASTENDERS fans were all left saying the same thing as Colin Salmon's character made his first appearance on the programme.

Viewers of the BBC One soap were taken aback when the Knight family bounced into action as they crashed into Walford with a surprise for Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).

Heading up the family is George Knight, played by Colin alongside his daughters Gina (Francesca Henry) and Anna, played by Strictly sensation Molly Rainford.

Linda was left shocked as George revealed himself as her mum Elaine's partner who would be moving into The Vic along with his girls, which was met with a damning response from Linda.

However, fans were all left puzzled by the way George acted as if he knew many of the Albert Square residents already despite him only just getting there.

Clearly the new man about town, he was first seen mingling on the Markets and appearing to flirt up a storm with Whitney Dean upon first meeting.

He later stepped in to stop Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris) from being hassled by a distressed Ben Mitchell.

Upon learning about Ben's recent loss of his daughter Lexi's mother Lola, he provided some comfort towards him.

He later chatted to little Lexi as he encouraged her to not run away from home again despite her grief.

In a generous move, he insisted that all the drinks were on the house in memory of Lola as he chatted and bonded with all the regulars.

It led to fans questioning why George was acting as if he knew them all well.

One wrote: "George has only been in it five minutes and he's helped reunite Ben and Lexi."

A second added: "George walking round like he's the king of Walford."

As another penned: "How does George know everyone already?";

Elsewhere, his daughters, Anna and Gina, caused chaos as they swept through Walford and ruffled many feathers in the process.

They ferociously clashed with Linda after turning her living area upside down with a flurry of boxes as well as upsetting her son in the process.

Later, they blared their dance music from behind the bar as the residents attempted to enjoy a quiet drink in memory of Lola.
