Colin Salmon, who plays the role of George Knight on EastEnders, recently opened up about the actors who inspired him on the popular BBC soap. At 62 years old, Colin has been a part of some major storylines since joining the cast last year as Queen Vic landlord George Knight. From his ex-wife Cindy Beale coming back from the dead to finding out the truth about his parentage, Colin's character has been through a lot.
In a recent interview, Colin and his co-star Harriet discussed their time on the show and were asked about their favorite moments. Colin mentioned the baby farming storyline, where George discovers that his parents had adopted him through an illegal arrangement. He also praised the scene where the family comes together at the dinner table, saying it was a moment where the actors truly bonded.
Harriet also shared her pride in being a part of a storyline where her character Elaine's friend Yolande Trueman was abused by her church pastor. And while Harriet talked about her experience, Colin took a moment to mention the former EastEnders stars who he looked up to, including the late Timothy West and Anthony Newley.
Speaking of Timothy West, he passed away earlier this month at the age of 90, and Colin expressed his honor to have worked with him on the show. Anthony Newley, who played car salesman Vince Watson in 1998, was also supposed to be a new regular on the show, but unfortunately passed away six months after making just three appearances.
Teasing the upcoming Christmas episode, Harriet revealed that Cindy's affair with George's son Junior will finally be exposed, causing chaos for both the Beale and Knight families. She added that Cindy will continue to cause trouble for the family, even after the truth comes out.
