Wedding bells are set to chime in EastEnders as Elaine Peacock (played by Harriet Thorpe) and her beau George Knight (Colin Salmon) gear up for their big day. But whispers of an ex-partner's return are stirring as the nuptials approach. In Thursday's visit to Albert Square (November 14), The Queen Vic buzzed with wedding preparations, with Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) spearheading the hen party plans.
Elaine, meanwhile, nudged George to consider his son Junior (Micah Balfour) for the role of best man. George, plagued by doubts about Junior's response, hesitated and instead turned to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) to step in as best man. However, Phil soon picked up on George's concealed wish for Junior to take up the mantle.
As George grappled with his best man dilemma, Johnny and Anna (Molly Rainford) were busy organising Elaine's hen night entertainment. "Elaine has been moaning about the entertainment again," Anna remarked to Johnny. "She loves a drag queen," he quipped, passing her a note.
"Drew Peacock", Anna read out, prompting Johnny to chuckle: "It will be good for her to know she's not the only drag queen called Peacock in town!", reports the Manchester Evening News . The enigmatic Drew Peacock has sparked fan theories on EastEnders forums, with some suggesting this drag queen could be none other than Linda Carter's (Kellie Bright) real father, just as her mother Elaine is poised to walk down the aisle once more. X was abuzz with speculation from an intrigued viewer .
