The pair have been getting away with their sordid actions - but now Junior has enlisted once-stepmother Cindy's suspicious son Peter Beale to work for him, it seems the jig will soon be up.
Junior arrived on the square after being referenced severally as the estranged son of many decades of George.
Upon his arrival, Micah described Junior as 'a complex man', and the reason for his estrangement from George was revealed.
The two were revealed to have been at loggerheads since George and Junior's mother went through a messy divorce when Junior was 12.
