Name: Gina Knight
First Appeared: 1st June 2023
Played by: Francesca Henry

If Anna is the Knight daughter that brings the sunshine, then Gina is the one that brings the cloud. Her mother’s early exit from their lives really messed with Gina’s head and mistake after mistake in Marbella didn’t help. She had an abortion as a teenager and dabbled in heavy drugs, so moving to Walford away from Marbella’s club culture was, perhaps, the most sensible move.

She has a sharp tongue and has no problem letting people know when they’re on the end of it. She’s fiery and has a temper, but there’s a sadness beneath the surface, feelings of loneliness and abandonment. Hopefully, with both her parents now taking active roles in her life, she can find a new path to tread and conquer.
