Follow-up: George in peril as he threatens to expose the drugs operation.. and he could be in more danger when Okie gets a gun

George needs to tread carefully
Joel Harley

An oblivious George Knight found himself in danger in EastEnders tonight (Wednesday, August 20), after he began stomping all over Ravi and Okie’s drugs operation. Having found brother Kojo passed out under the influence, George was on the hunt for answers.

And, having witnessed Harry’s shady behaviour in The Vic, he was convinced he knew where to get them. After making sure that Kojo was fine, he headed off to confront Harry, accusing him of being behind Kojo’s drugs nightmare.

An ugly public confrontation ensued, during which George aired a bit too much of Okie and Ravi’s business for comfort.

George in danger as Okie issued a warning

After his public humiliation (and hand-mangling), Harry returned home to Kojo’s flat. Fuming over what had happened, he filled Okie in on the situation.

Okie’s smugness turned to concern when he learned that George had been shouting his mouth off about drugs at the bar. Harry managed to talk Okie out of paying George ‘a visit,’ but Okie made clear that neither were out of the woods yet.

If he can’t get George to back off? Well, the big man might have to be ‘disappeared.’

Harry’s got a gun in EastEnders spoilers for next week

George’s accusations continue in EastEnders spoilers for tomorrow (Thursday, August 21). When Harry reassures him that he’ll always have his friend’s back, Kojo defends him to George.

And just in time – as Harry takes delivery of a gun in next week’s spoilers. Ravi walks in to find Okie showing Harry the gun, and demands that Harry get rid of it.

Later, as George demands to know whether Harry is messing his daughter around, guilty Harry hides the gun. When George has gone, Harry makes plans to bury the piece, but Ravi tells him that it’s a foolish idea.

When he goes to retrieve the gun, George finds that it’s gone. But where? And who took it?
