Gina Knight is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Francesca Henry. Gina was introduced by executive producer Chris Clenshaw in episode 6708, broadcast on 1 June 2023. She was introduced as a member of the Knight family; the daughter of George Knight (Colin Salmon) and older sister of Anna Knight (Molly Rainford). Her older half-brother Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) was later introduced. Her storylines in the series have included the reveal that her estranged mother Rose is actually established character Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) and therefore discovering that Peter Beale (Thomas Law) is her half-brother, her cocaine addiction, her relationship with Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), suffering racial discrimination from her adoptive grandfather Eddie Knight (Christopher Fairbank), supporting Anna through her abortion; and being a suspect in the "Who Attacked Cindy?" storyline.
