EastEnders airs the arrival of three new characters next week on the BBC soap, as the new family head to Walford.
George Knight and his daughters Anna and Gina make their debut, as they join his partner Elaine Peacock after the news they were the new family in The Queen Vic.
Elaine has gone into business with daughter Linda Carter, with the pair co-owners of the famous establishment.

"George Knight is a charming rogue and an old-school gent who dotes on his two daughters, Gina and Anna. George will take up residence in The Queen Vic when he joins his beloved Elaine, a powerhouse of a land-lady who knows just how to have fun.
"The couple will be joined by feisty, determined and demanding Gina, who is as sharp and cool as cut diamonds but with a temper that blazes like fire, whereas younger sister, Anna is fun, loveable, and big-hearted, but don’t underestimate her.
