EastEnders has dropped a trailer introducing the newest family to join the residents of Walford.

The 30-second video is set to the song Feeling Good and sees Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) waving and welcoming the new family as her daughter Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stands by and looks less than impressed.
As previously reported, Strictly Come Dancing star Molly Rainford is joining the show as Anna Knight and looks sure to turn heads.
Striding alongside her in the trailer, viewers get a glimpse of the patriarch of the family, George Knight (Arrow's Colin Salmon), with his other daughter Gina (A Discovery of Witches' Francesca Henry).

Linda's eyeroll and awkward body language in the clip did not go unnoticed by fans of the show.
