George (Colin Salmon) was floored when he recently met his long-lost brothers Kobina (Jonathan Nyati) and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho). The pair arrived in Walford hoping to have a relationship with him. 

Their arrival has been difficult for George, who was grappling with the shock of discovering the truth about his father Henry’s murder, and his true heritage.

However, he welcomed them to stay at the Vic. 

In recent episodes, George has been trying to get to know his brothers better, but spoilers for next week’s episode suggest they will hit a rough patch.
