Harry Mitchell made a heartbreaking discovery about his late girlfriend Shireen in tonight’s episode of EastEnders, as Penny Branning told him Shireen was pregnant when she died.
It’s already been a devastating week for Harry, who found out Shireen’s body had been found, and the Mitchells’ associate Benji had been arrested for the m.u.r.d.e.r.
When Nicola was questioned by police, Harry suspected Nicola had something to do with the m.u.r.d.e.r – and has no disowned both her and his father Teddy.

In today’s episode, Harry came storming back into his house, shouting to his parents: “Shireen was pregnant. You k.i.l.l.e.d her. And my baby. Now we’ve both lost a kid ain’t we dad?”
Last week, Nicola let slip to Teddy that she k.i.l.l.e.d Shireen after an argument, and after Penny’s shocking revelation, fans are certain Nicola was aware of Shireen’s pregnancy, leading to the argument.
“So that’s the reason why Nicola k*lled shireen she was pregnant with Harry’s baby….,” said one fan on X, formerly known as Twitter. Another agreed: “I bet Nicola knew,” as a third penned: “I bet that’s what they were arguing about.”

Shireen’s m.u.r.d.e.r isn’t the only big secret Nicola has to hide, as Zack Hudson is still holding the secret that he’s Barney’s father.
In tonight’s episode, Zack was seen entering Nicola’s home, as he told her they needed to talk. Earlier in the year, Nicola told Zack that Teddy had k.i.l.l.e.d Shireen, to keep him from telling the truth. At the time, she told Zack Teddy would be capable of k.i.l.l.i.n.g him if he found out the truth.
However, in tonight’s episode, Nicola told Zack that it was in fact her who k.i.l.l.e.d Shireen, after Zack threatened to tell Barney the truth.
“You know what, I’d do it all again,” Nicola told Zack. “As I keep telling you, I will do anything to keep my family together. You could go to the police, and you could tell Barney the truth too. But the question is Zack… is it worth the risk?” she questioned before telling Zack to get out of her sight.
Elsewhere in tonight’s episode, Cindy Beale made her dramatic return to the Square, gate crashing Lauren and Peter’s engagement party. “Don’t tell me I missed the party,” she said, as the family were left in shock.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
