If you think we see drama onscreen everyday then you’re not prepared for what’s coming next. EastEnders legend Colin Salmon has sparked rumours of a secret feud with a co-star who plays his onscreen daughter on the BBC soap. The actor who plays the role of George Knight made his way to Albert Square in 2023 with his partner and two daughters, Anna and Gina Knight.
The Knight clan has been involved in some of the intriguing storylines ever since their arrival. And even though the whole cast looks to be sitting well together, there is more to it than the naked eye can see. According to reports, Colin and their onscreen daughter, Francesca Henry, have snubbed each other on social media platforms. It looks like the Gina actor Francesca follows several of her cast members except for her on-screen father, Colin.
All of this comes after the George actor passed a comment on actors not remembering their lines during an appearance at the National Television Awards. Salmon was seen talking about newcomer Dayo Koleosho, who portrays Kojo and has autism in real life. The actor praised Kojo actor for always ‘knowing all his lines’ ahead of filming, unlike others. It seems like Colin is really appreciating his new onscreen brother.

Salmon also revealed his personal connection to the narrative and said that his son has autism, so it means a lot to him that they’re representing it. The BBC soap always comes up with the most intriguing storylines, and the autism storyline will definitely strike a chord with several of its viewers.
