Junior wants out in EastEnders spoilers

Relations between George and his son have been strained ever since Junior’s secret affair with Cindy was exposed last Christmas. And recent events have made Junior decide there’s nothing worth sticking around in Walford for.

In the aftermath of the Kojo drugs drama, George struggles to remain civil with Junior. But the former boxer is dealt a blow when Junior announces he’s accepted a job back in Dubai and booked a one-way flight back there.

It was confirmed earlier this month that actor Micah Balfour will be bowing out in the coming weeks. So could this be the start of Junior’s exit storyline? And will George make up with his son before he leaves London?

With the pressure building, George tries to make amends with Junior. He explains to his son that he’s planning on sending Kojo back to Ghana and Junior is horrified he’d do such a thing.
