EastEnders' Elaine 'thrown to the ground' in violent attack as George's secret 'rumbled'

It's been a tough few weeks for Elaine Peacock in EastEnders, from suffering a heart attack, to selling the pub and being left with no work. Not to mention splitting from her husband George Knight.

However, things are about to get a whole lot worse for the character, as spoilers for next week reveal that she's thrown to the ground after being surrounded by a group of threatening lads in an attempt to help her ex George.

George was seen getting intimate with Nicola last week - and after the attack Elaine and Cindy are set to find out about their 'relationship'.

It all starts when George becomes concerned after hearing that Kojo's 'new friend' Okie has bought him an expensive watch, spoilers for next weekreveal.

Recently, Ravi has been getting Harry in his illegal dealings with Okie, and next week Harry is set to find out that the duo are using Kojo's flat for their illegal activities. It comes after an EastEnders legend was rushed to hospital after a deadly attack by a familiar face.

Now, Okie will be seen manipulating Kojo in a bid to cover up their illegal dealings - as George tries to intervene next week when he buys him a watch. However, not wanting to meddle, George is grateful when Elaine offers to suss the situation out.

She goes to see Kojo at his workplace, The Arches, however, disaster strikes when she's thrown to the ground by a group of threatening lads. Kojo and Elaine are then surrounded in a terrifying ordeal, but Okie arrives and chases the gang off.

The duo then inform George on how he saved them, and things escalate when Kojo trusts him enough to give him the keys to his flat...

We know Kojo flushed Ravi's drugs down the toilet, but he's yet to find out. Will it ever come out and how will Ravi react if it does?

Last month, we saw Elaine suffer a heart attack with all the stress of selling the Vic, which she finally agreed to, and she and daughter Linda sold it to Kat Slater in the auction.

However, we've recently seen Elaine feeling rather lost not being behind the bar, even going as far as to help Cindy in the Albert to get back into the swing of things.

Fans are loving the 'double act' of George's exes, who usually loathe each other. Next week, the pair are set to partner up yet again when they realise there's a new woman in George's life. George and Nicola shocked viewers last week when they got intimate in the office of Harry's Barn.

Elaine and Cindy are set to find out the new woman in George's life is Nicola next week, but how will they react?

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
