George Palmer, played by Paul Moriarty, appears between 1996 and 1998. Actor Paul Moriarty was asked to read for the role of George along with 10 other actors. Moriarty was called back instantly and asked to begin working on the role the following day. He has commented to an American fan-based publication, " quite overwhelming. I had watched the show but not religiously So I show up at Borehamwood the very next day, straight to make-up and then onto Albert Square to do my first bit I might just as well have landed on Mars." George had been described as "shady". The character was one of many to be axed in 1998 by Executive Producer Matthew Robinson, following a dip in ratings.
