As part of EastEnders, a new family will move into the venerable Queen Vic bar on Albert Square.

We’ve all been curious about what will happen to the institution and who will join the galaxy of illustrious landladies and men who have frequented the pub ever since Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) disappeared at sea during the holidays.

In actuality, a brand-new family is about to take over, and their arrival is just around the corner.

They go by the name of the Knights, and when they arrive tonight (June 1), there will undoubtedly be havoc as soon as they set foot on the Square.

We now know who Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) has linked up with for the Vic takeover, along with her mother Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and their two kids.

Molly Rainford is one of the new stars that will make an appearance in the soap opera, but who is she and what role will she play?

What you should know is as follows.
