This week in EastEnders, George’s adoptive parents turned up out of the blue and revealed a secret to him about his childhood that left him reeling.
George found out that Eddie and Gloria had been paid to take him in when he was a child.
With George also finding out that his whole life has been a lie, EastEnders fans have ‘worked out’ the identity of his biological father.
EastEnders: George’s parents revealed the truth
Moments into the New Year, George’s adoptive parents – Eddie and Gloria – turned up in The Vic.
Gloria explained that they had been keeping something from him and had wanted him to find out about it before they passed away.
They then told George that they had been paid to take him in when he was a child, leaving George devastated.
Gloria then tried to justify her actions, sharing that this was the way she could finally have a child.
After working things out, George discovered he was the product of a process known as farming. It meant families were paid to foster children of mainly African immigrants. The Children would be returned when the birth parents were in a secure situation to raise them.
George later pieced everything together and realised that he might not even be Jamaican like he’d always thought.

Meanwhile, in The Vic earlier this week, Patrick made a comment about George being Jamaican, not knowing that George might not be. Now, EastEnders fans have linked the two characters together and have ‘worked out’ that Patrick might be George’s biological father.
One fan commented: “A lot of Patrick w/ a lot of George… I don’t think it’s a coincidence.”
