Anna’s Final Moments In EastEnders
Anna Knight arrived in the Square in 2023. She came along with Gina and George Knight. However, her journey was never smooth. She had faced multiple problems at the club. Later, she also found her mum, Cindy Beale, again. With time, her presence felt, and she became an important part of the Queen Vic.
The news that she will exit the BBC was confirmed earlier this year. Elsewhere, the moment arrived in the episode that was aired on December 2. Anna packed her bags and was going to Australia. But, she didn’t go there by herself. Freddie Slater, who was ready for a fresh start, also departed with her. Elsewhere in her final hour in Walford, she tried to mend things in her family for people whom she cares about.
She stood by Kojo Asare’s side. And even pushed him to fix things between him, Gina and Harry. Then she spoke to her father, George Knight, about forgiveness. She made sure that before she leaves, her family is united. Even Freddie Slater shared some warm moments with the Slaters. Even when the family was dealing with their own mess, they still bid Freddie a calm goodbye.
Molly Rainford Reflects On Her Time On The Show
After the episode aired, Molly Rainford shared her thoughts online. She also shared some pictures from the set. Elsewhere, she fondly remembered her time in the past two years. She wrote that Anna was off to Australia. Molly also said that she cannot describe in words what this soap means to her.
She said that Anna went through everything, the tears, the laughter and the time she spent working in The Vic. She also spoke about her storylines that made her presence felt. Be it the night she was spiked, the pregnancy test, or the love triangle. And so she felt that Anna deserved a break after all that.
Molly further thanked her cast and crew for the way they welcomed her. She also spoke about the Knights, the Beales and the Peacick Carters. She would miss being around her every day. Near the conclusion, a certain sentence that Anna had written came into light.
She put everyone in mind that no one can travel all the time. This was just a little tease, but it was sufficient for the people to speculate whether Anna would be coming back sometime. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
