Anna Knight secretly gets the ball rolling to find her mum Rose Knight
Anna Knight looks shifty after Linda Carter reveals that the takings at the Queen Vic are missing ?200 but suspicion instead falls on her sister Gina Knight!
The family are worried about Gina's recent relapse into her partying ways, as she's had problems with drugs in the past. The trauma of being abandoned by mum Rose Knight when she was just a kid has left a deep emotional wound and on several occasions she's gone off the rails.
When Gina finds out that Anna stole the money and has spent it on hiring a private investigator to track down Rose, she's stunned!
Confronting dad George Knight, Gina is about to grass up her little sister when Anna intervenes and claims she left the cash on the side and it was stolen.
Agreeing to keep quiet about Anna stealing the cash, Gina gives Anna an ultimatum, warning her not to go through with searching for Rose.
She insists that if Anna won't give up her plan, then she'll never speak to her again, as she can never forgive Rose for walking out on the family with no explanation.
Of course what the girls DON'T know is that Rose is in fact the supposedly dead Cindy Beale! A police informant when she was in prison, she was released early and given a new identity to protect her.
Despite Gina's anger, Anna secretly vows to go ahead with finding Rose, not realising about the bombshell revelation!
