Will love finally win? (Picture: BBC)
Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) and Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) have been EastEnders’ very own Ross and Rachel for a long while now. Will they? Won’t they? Could they? Should they?
I mean, admittedly, Ross was never sucked into a drug dealing and exploitation racket, held prisoner in a trap house, force fed drugs, killed the man who fed him said-drugs and had to go to rehab. Although we might have preferred that to the ‘Emily’ storyline.
But suffice to say, Harry and Gina have been circling each other for quite some time
It all started back in April of last year when Harry gave Gina a very intense induction as she began working at Harry’s Barn, owned by his mum, Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington). She was hardly smitten at first, but a bit of Mitchell magic, combined with a glowing reference from Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho), Gina’s uncle and Harry’s bestie, seemed to work!
There were more shenanigans as Harry sought to free both himself and Kojo from the horrific drug dealing ring they’d found themselves trapped in, but his feelings for Gina were clear and it seemed that the new twosome were destined for a fully fledged relationship.

But the path of true love never did run smoothly. Especially in Soapland.
Gina was crestfallen when Harry, alongside Kojo, suddenly disappeared on a ‘lads holiday’. What she didn’t know was that Harry hadn’t actually stepped foot outside of Walford, he was being held in captivity by ‘Okie’ Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu), who’d begun to feed him drugs.
He added to Harry’s torture by promising to romance Gina while he rotted away in the base of their drug operation. Gina agreed to a drink with Okie, though she immediately sensed that something was very wrong.
The Harry that emerged from captivity wasn’t the Harry that went in and, after hitting rock bottom as his addiction threatened to destroy his life, he went to rehab. Though Gina was keen to rekindle their relationship when he returned, Harry explained that he still had a way to go and he didn’t want to risk a relapse. Though heartbroken, Gina understood.

Next week sees Kojo determined to return to his flat, the same flat that was the location of their captivity and Harry’s slaying of Kojo.
Though his brother, George Knight (Colin Salmon), worries about what this means for Kojo, Harry takes a massive step for his best friend and, despite massive hesitation, decides to move into the flat with Kojo.
