Major EastEnders character ‘will k.i.l.l again’ after explosive ‘m.u.r.d.e.r’ in early BBC iPlayer release
This article contains spoilers for Wednesday’s episode of EastEnders, which airs tonight at 7:30pm on BBC One, or can be streamed now on iPlayer.
Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) has branded ex-husband Teddy (Roland Manookian) as a m.u.r.d.e.r.e.r in today’s EastEnders.
Such a wild revelation has come after weeks of shocking truths for the extended Mitchell clan.
Nic, as we have seen, has been keeping a fair few secrets from her family.
She firstly discovered that Teddy’s partner Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) had slept with her ex-hubby Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp), and it was then revealed that she herself had once cheated – with none other than Sharon’s brother Zack Hudson (James Farrar).
To make matters worse, he had fathered her youngest son Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) and she’d been keeping the matter under her hat for best part of two decades.
With the bombshells teetering on the edge of collapse, Nicola arrranged for Zack to be beaten up by some of her cronies to try and permanently silence him.
Sharon discovered what had happened and decided enough was enough, she had to confess her steamy fling to Teddy.
As the pair began to chat, Barney burst in and told his dad that he already knew.
In today’s instalment, a tense showdown ensued as Teddy learnt the grizzly truth.
Enraged with the realisation that Nicola also knew, he kicked her out of the house and she rushed to Zack, pleading him not to spill about Barney’s paternity.
Sharon was lost for words, and as she began to justify her actions, Teddy saw red and smashed a glass on the floor.
In true Mitchell style, a fight soon ensued between the locals and one was left nursing their injuries.
Are Teddy’s true colours beginning to show?
So far he’s played ‘Mr Nice Guy’, trying to act as the middle man in the often tense family dynamic.
As the situation cooled, he was forced to apologise to Barney after he witnessed the altercation. Nicola nursed his swollen hand in some ice before making it clear that she was the woman for him.
She won’t settle until she has her man back!
Sneaking off into the night, she arrived at Sharon’s house and pleaded with Zack to keep quiet again.
He was adamant that the situation would only worsen, the longer that Barney didn’t know who his real dad was.
With nowhere left to turn, she told the siblings that before Barney was born, Teddy was a very different man – he was vicious.
The birth of his second son helped to mellow him, but it didn’t take much for his former self to be unearthed. Such a devastating blow would be enough to bring out the Mr Hyde to his Dr Jekyll.
Zack struggled to believe her claims, forcing Nicola to unveil something horrific.
Teddy is a m.u.r.d.e.r.e.r, and he will k.i.l.l again. For all of their sakes, Zack needs to keep his mouth shut.
But who met their end at the hands of Teddy Mitchell?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One or stream first from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
