Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) bags herself a new fella in EastEnders next week.

…and it’s probably the most unlikely Walford local you could think of – Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway)!

The two haven’t exactly seen eye to eye since he arrived in The Square last year.

There were rumours of a relationship when Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) saw the two secretly meeting up.

She became concerned that her sister had played a part in the attack of their mum Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) at Christmas, but Gina was actually hiding a much darker secret.

On the night Cindy was attacked, she’d slept with Anna’s boyfriend Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier).

More recently, battle lines were once again drawn between the siblings, when they competed for a job at Harry’s Barn.

Owner Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) had told the girls that only one position behind the bar was available – and they’d be under Harry’s watchful eye during the trial shift.

Harry made the evening as hellish as possible, purposely getting in Gina’s way and convincing her that the boozer was the last place she wanted to work.

To her surprise, he was actually testing the waters and wanted her to join the team.

After landing himself a job at The Arches, and a new mate in Harry, Gina’s uncle Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) asks him for some advice about dating.

The conversation obviously gives Harry some food for thought.

Bumping into Gina, he tried his best chat up lines, and later asks Kojo to put a good word in for him.

She’s totally unimpressed by the suggestion, but the Mitchell magic obviously works as she agrees to a date with him.
