The sisters Anna as well as Gina Knight ( Molly Rainford and Francesca Henry) have always been friends, however an unexpected revelation by Gina has completely changed the way things work to Anna who is in EastEnders.
Gina and Anna were shocked as they watched an exchange between father George Knight ( Colin Salmon) and their grandfather Eddie (Christopher Fairbank), where George engaged Eddie about his trial for a racially driven murder.
When George was recalling the discriminatory remarks his father’s family members had exposed him to this, the whole thing became to bear for Anna when she ran into the barrel store in a state of anger.
Gina did not waste time looking over her and making sure that she was fine she was fine, and Anna said that she could not beleive the scathing remarks that were being said. She argued that she was of the opinion that Eddie was just being old-fashioned..
As Gina said that statements they made were discriminatory, Anna revealed what was the issue that was really bothering her.

“Did they murder this man simply because he’s black?
Anna was later to admit that because George was never one to react at Eddie’s comment and she was unaware that the racist nature of his remarks.
Gina said it’s logical to Anna to look at things in this in this way since Anna was scared to recognize her father’s racism as what it was.
As Anna requested that Gina discuss the matter further, Gina revealed that Eddie was treating Anna differently due to the manner in which she styled her hair as well as her manner of dressing and acting.

Gina replied to Anna’s claim that she was also bullied, pointing that bullying ended for her once she began coloring her hair blonde, and straightening it.
