Kojo’s Future Shifts as Junior Knight Bids Farewell to EastEnders
It’s been an emotional ride in EastEnders this week as fans witnessed the exit of Junior Knight, played by Micah Balfour, in scenes that were both heartfelt and dramatic. After 18 months in Albert Square, Junior’s story reached a turning point—one that not only closed his chapter but also changed the course of his uncle Kojo Asare’s future.
In the latest BBC iPlayer release, Junior made the difficult decision to leave Walford behind and start anew in Dubai. His reason was clear and heartfelt—he wanted to be closer to his son Xavier and his ex-wife, Monique. But before packing up for good, Junior had some unfinished business, especially concerning his family, who’ve been entangled in chaos and danger lately.

Kojo, played by Dayo Koleosho, found himself caught in the aftermath of a violent drug-related ordeal. He’d been threatened by Okie Okyere, a dealer with deep connections in London’s underworld, before Okie’s shocking death at the hands of Harry Mitchell. The event left Kojo shaken and vulnerable, prompting his brother Kobina to urge him to return to Ghana for safety. George Knight, their elder brother, seemed to agree—thinking that a fresh start away from London might be best.
But Junior wasn’t having it. Despite preparing for his own departure, he refused to let Kojo be pushed out of the life he’d built in Walford. Quietly, and without George’s knowledge, Junior took matters into his own hands. He approached Ravi Gulati—the man behind the local drug operation—and struck a deal to ensure Kojo wouldn’t be targeted. It was a bold and risky move, but it showed how deeply Junior cared for his family’s safety.
With that handled, Junior packed his bags and prepared to leave. His farewells were filled with emotion—hugging his sisters, exchanging heartfelt words with his father George, and even sharing a quiet goodbye with Cindy Beale. In one final gesture of love, he handed Kojo the keys to his car, a symbolic parting gift that felt like a promise of better days ahead.
As Junior drove out of Albert Square for what could be the last time, it was clear his exit wasn’t just about leaving—it was about protecting the ones he loved. His departure leaves a void in the Knight family, but also a lingering question: will Kojo stay safe now that his biggest supporter has gone?
Micah Balfour’s time on EastEnders may have ended, but the door has been left open for a possible return. And with Kojo’s fate still uncertain, it feels like this story is far from over.
