EastEnders' notorious killer, Eddie Knight, is scheduled to return to Walford later this year. Christopher Fairbank, who previously portrayed the villain, will reprise his role. Knight, known for a racially motivated murder, was imprisoned in 2024 after being brought to justice decades later.
His return is part of a new storyline that will place George Knight at the center of the drama. While Fairbank's stint will be short, his reappearance is set to initiate a more extensive plot impacting George and the wider Knight family. The soap confirmed Fairbank's return for a brief period this spring.
Separately, Coronation Street and Emmerdale viewers may face schedule disruptions due to the 2026 World Cup. ITV's plans to prioritize live match coverage could affect the soaps' usual broadcast times, potentially impacting viewer numbers after recent schedule changes.
