EastEnders reveals new family with Molly Rainford and James Bond star leading roles
Strictly Come Dancing finalist Molly Rainford is set to be introduced to EastEnders as part of a new family, the Knights, alongside James Bond star Colin Salmon, Absolutely Fabulous star Harriet Thorpe and actress Francesca Henry.
Absolutely Fabulous star Harriet, 65, will be playing Elaine Peacock, Linda Carter's "larger than life mother" and Francesca, who has starred in A Discovery of Witches, will be taking on the role of Gina Knight. The family also bring their beloved Chihuahua, Tyson. "However, little do they know that Linda is secretly teaming up with her mother, Elaine Peacock, who will be bringing her new lover, George Knight, and his two daughters, Gina and Anna, to the Square."
"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. Talking about joining the show, Molly said: "I’m SUPER excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders. It’s such an iconic show which myself and my family love, so it’s an honour to bring the character Anna Knight to life who is set to stir up drama upon her arrival.
Harriet said of the role: "I’m thrilled to be playing Elaine who is an ultimate matriarch with a huge and vivid personality with a heart of gold who takes no prisoners and fights with all she’s got, but has a vulnerable side that she only shows a select few.
