EastEnders newcomer causes chaos as she arrives in Walford – but Teddy Mitchell threatens to expose her huge secrets
Meanwhile Phil is becoming increasingly isolated
A NEW arrival brings chaos to Walford, but Teddy Mitchell threatens to reveal her secrets in EastEnders.
Next week on the BBC soap, the police arrive to arrest Harry, but before he gets in the car, Nicola Mitchell – Harry and Barney’s mum – arrives.
Teddy demands to know why his ex-wife has turned up.
But, she retorts that she got a tip-off about Harry’s arrest and is here to help.
Nicola’s first order of business is to get to the bottom of Penny’s involvement in Harry’s arrest.
As the pressure mounts, Jack demands to know what Penny said to the Mitchells.
Before long, Nicola is making waves across Walford.
So, Teddy decides to weaponize a big secret about her recent past.
Meanwhile, Harry is gunning for Penny following his arrest, and shares some home truths with Jack.
And Nicola continues to get under Teddy’s skin and takes an immediate dislike to Sharon.
Nicola introduces herself to Honey and manipulates an invite to the lunch she’s arranged with Teddy and Billy.
During lunch, Nicola puts Billy and Honey in the picture about her marriage to Teddy, delighting in making him squirm.
Later, having bagged herself somewhere to stay, Nicola decides to stir things up even more when she overhears Teddy arranging to meet Phil to sign the club sale paperwork by cornering Phil for a chat.
Phil is annoyed by Teddy’s low-ball offer for Peggy’s and dismisses him, saying there are other interested parties.
Both Sharon and Kat separately try to talk to Phil, who is becoming increasingly isolated.
But Phil covers his emotions and refuses to open up to either of them.
Sharon tries to get Phil to see sense about the sale of Peggy’s, wondering if he really wants to get rid of the place.
The club sale continues to have an impact on Phil’s mood.
But, he closes down Sharon’s attempts to talk to him about it.
Can anyone get through to Phil?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
