EastEnders airs shock arrest in murder of Harry Mitchell’s ex-girlfriend – but it isn’t Nicola
EASTENDERS fans were left gobsmacked as police made an arrest over the murder of Harry Mitchell’s ex-girlfriend Shireen.
The bombshell moment means Harry is finally on the brink of uncovering the truth about his missing girlfriend – but will he learn who’s really to blame?
Nicola Mitchell was forced to reveal her deadly secret about Shireen to her partner Teddy Mitchell, before he could develop the area her body was hidden.
She revealed that she hired Benji to scare Shireen – but she ended up dead with her body buried in Paradise Park in Dartford.
However, EastEnders viewers saw Nicola confess that Shireen knew about Barney not being Teddy’s biological son and threatened to tell the family.
Tuesday’s episode of the BBC soap saw a desperate Nicola beg Teddy to pay Benji off to move the evidence of Shireen’s murder.
With Benji demanding £150k, Teddy went to his cousin Phil Mitchell for help.
Phil offered to loan him the money or buy back the bar to help him and Nicola.
But, Teddy had a change of heart after talking to his son Harry, who opened up to him about how much the bar meant to him.
Later, Nicola paid Benji some of the money and promised to pay the rest after the body was moved.
But, Teddy had other ideas.
Teddy framed Benji so that the police caught him digging up the body on Paradise Park.
Benji was cuffed and put in a police car – while shouting that the person they should be talking to is Nicola Mitchell.
How will Nicola react to Teddy’s dangerous plan?
And how will Harry cope with the death of his girlfriend?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One or stream from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
