BBC EastEnders' couple could be heading for a heartbreaking split after a cheating scandal was exposed in the latest episode.
Cindy's blackmail attempt was an effort to prevent George from arranging another fight with Rufus, following a boxing match that nearly cost him his life. After feeling unwell, George sought medical attention and underwent tests. The revelations about his past, including the fate of his biological parents and the death of his adoptive mother Gloria Knight , have sent George into a downward spiral. He's been using fighting as a coping mechanism instead of addressing his feelings.
Cindy then realised that the only way to potentially save his life was to prevent him from fighting. She warned George that if he proceeded with the fight, he would leave his daughters heartbroken and fatherless.
