EastEnders star Harriet Thorpe on 'massive problem' with Linda's future amid Christmas death

Love is in the air on Albert Square, as Elaine Peacock and George Knight are all set to get hitched. Yet with George's notorious ex, Cindy stirring trouble, the road to their "I dos" might hit a bump!

Amidst this whirlwind, pub boss Elaine can't wait to don her wedding gown - it's a stark change for actress Harriet Thorpe who usually plays more outlandish roles. "I normally play psychotic women, so the bride isn’t my first go-to.

I’ve never been an ingenue," she shared excitedly. "I’ve always been a character actor, so being a bride – and Elaine, with her controlling everything – has been such a joy." Elaine is excited at the prospect of tying the knot and becoming Mrs Knight, yet there's a niggling doubt that prevents her from fully trusting George (portrayed by Colin Salmon) after his emotional lapse with Cindy following his mother's death earlier in April.

She shared: "Elaine is thrilled because, with George and Elaine in their sixties, they both know what they want in life, and for them to get to this point is a culmination of such a roller-coaster ride.
