The pair confessed a shocking secret to George; Eddie and Gloria revealed that they had bought him as a youngster through a process known as baby farming, where children were illegally sold to couples by their biological parents. It was then revealed that Eddie had killed George’s birth father.
George also believed he saw his birth mother rushing out, but it turned out to be a family friend. She informed George that his birth mother, Margaret Asare, had passed away four months ago.
There is speculation that George’s brother might be a past Walford resident named Gus Smith, who was played by Mohammed George and appeared on the show from 2002 to 2006. During his time in Walford, Gus fell in love with Sonia Fowler and later reunited with his partner Keisha before leaving Albert Square to travel with her band.
There is excitement around the possibility of Gus being George’s secret sibling, as it could lead to exploration of their family history. The return of a previous character like Gus Smith is expected to excite longtime fans of the show.
