Kidnapping horror as Harry takes EastEnders ‘enemy’ hostage – and tragedy follows

Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) sees red in EastEnders next week, when he lashes out towards Zack Hudson (James Farrar).

Of course, as viewers of the BBC soap know, it was only a matter of time before Zack had an almighty face-off with the Mitchell clan.

Earlier this year, he discovered that Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) is his son, following a brief fling with Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) sixteen years ago.

Since then she’s pretended that her son was fathered by husband Teddy (Roland Manookian), and the revelation is set to destroy him in upcoming scenes.

Zack has become increasingly concerned about Barney’s wellbeing, and next week he tells Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) that his plan to whisk the youngster off for pastures new is in full swing.

He intends to take him far away from Walford, to escape the potential danger of living with his m.u.r.d.e.r.o.u.s mum Nic.

Vicki warns him against it, but he proceeds to ask Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) for some cash to fund his trip.

Ravi advises that Nicola is a very dangerous woman, and that she shouldn’t be messed with. In an attempt to stop him, he reveals that he was the one Nicola wanted to move a body last month.

Unmoved by his words, Zack then speaks with Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), who encourages him to go to the police station and report Nicola instead. His evidence is enough to have her arrested, something which Harry takes great pleasure in seeing.

This is, of course, because the mother and son have been at loggerheads ever since he discovered that she had k.i.l.l.e.d his ex-girlfriend Shireen.
