EastEnders viewers think they know the identity of the unknown woman who appeared in court with George Knight on Tuesday.

George faced turmoil as he hoped to finally find out who his biological mother was, after a recent bombshell about his adoption as a child. In a horrifying turn of events, George found out his biological father had been murdered decades ago by his adoptive father Eddie Knight.

After George recently learned more about his adoption and his identity, he was told his real parents had paid Eddie and Gloria to take him in. Gloria claimed the money soon stopped and George's father never returned for him.

The truth was that she'd told Eddie to stop Henry Kofi Asare from taking his son George home, resulting in Eddie murdering him and hiding his body. Years on, Eddie was in court after being accused over the death.

Eddie blackmailed George who now knew the truth, telling him he needed to give a personal statement to defend him in exchange for information on his biological mother. George battled with his thoughts over the blackmail, and soon turned on Eddie as he told the court who he really was.

But during his message to the jury, George noticed a mystery woman who appeared upset by the case and what George was saying. The lady got up and ran out of the courtroom visibly emotional, with viewers seeing George watch her with curiosity as she fled.

Towards the end of the episode, Eddie confronted George who demanded the information about his mum. Eddie then claimed he'd lied to get him into court, and there was no information to begin with.

Taking to X after the scenes aired, fans questioned whether they had worked out the identity of the woman George had seen, with it seeming that she knew his father Henry, given her reaction to George's comments about his real mother and father. While some questioned if she was his biological mother, other viewers wondered if she might be his secret sister.

One fan posted: "George’s mother?? No way she’s that old! More like sister." Another said: "I wonder if that woman is George's biological mother?" as a third posted: "That woman is definitely George's mother."

Another theory read: "I hope that woman in the Court is George’s mum." It comes as George himself believed the woman was his mother, telling partner Elaine: "My mum was in court today, I'm sure of it. I didn't get a chance to meet her."
