In new pics, Mollie, 22, is set to join Colin Salmon, 60, who plays George Knight, and Frencesca Henry, 28, who plays Gina Knight.

The quartet are set to make a dramatic entrance into the square as George is currently in a relationship with Elaine Peacock, played by Harriet Thorpe, 65.

Linda has been struggling to run the Queen Vic since the disappearance of Mick so along comes her mother Elaine to help.

But she is not alone as she will be joined by the new family as they raise a glass at the newly-acquisitioned Queen Vic.

Elaine is the mother of Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright, 46.

But Kellie previously admitted that viewers can look forward to fireworks between Linda and George.

She revealed: “You’ve got remember she has lost Mick, very scarred by Janine.

“For her everyone is the enemy and no one is to be trusted especially not this man who as far as shes concerned her mum does not know nearly well enough.

“Starting from that place there is no openness, not wanting to get to know them.

“You’ve going to have to prove yourself to me. Linda does angry very well. The donut is there again time to bring it back! 

“Its all a bit of a shock to the system, she suddenly has to not just share her pub with these people but her whole world, they move in, it’s a transition time!

Meanwhile, Colin is best known for his role as MI6 deputy chief of staff Charles Robinson in three Bond films.

He will play a large part of the new family arriving in Albert Square next month as the father-of-two.
