There are almost no redeeming qualities in Eddie Knight. In fact, the more we think about it, we can’t even find one!

Eddie would deny it of course, saying he is ‘of his time’ or the world is for ‘snowflakes’, but Eddie is very much a racist and a bigot, with a truck load of anger, venom and spite thrown in for good measure. He was reluctant to take baby George in as a child, but his love for wife Gloria (there’s that one good quality!) got him to change his mind. What he didn’t tell many was that when George’s birth father came looking for him, Eddie and his ‘friends’ beat him to death, unaware that George had seen the whole thing!

Years later, historical justice caught up with Eddie. When George told the truth in court, Eddie went down for murder. He failed to tell George about his own mother’s funeral and, just for that, we hope he rots for the short time he has left…
