Next week on EastEnders, viewers can expect an emotional rollercoaster as key characters face their toughest challenges yet. 

From long-buried secrets resurfacing to shocking revelations and intense confrontations, Albert Square is in for a dramatic few days.

Harry Mitchell Struggles with the Anniversary of Shireen’s Disappearance

The week begins with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) dreading the fourth anniversary of his girlfriend Shireen’s disappearance. 

The weight of her absence has taken a toll on him, and tensions at No.1 are running high as Nicola (Laura Doddington), 

Teddy (Roland Manookian), and Barney struggle to navigate the emotional turmoil.

A surprise visit from Shireen’s brother Asad only adds fuel to the fire. 

During a tense exchange, Asad drops a bombshell—he no longer believes Harry was involved in his sister’s vanishing. However, his suspicions shift toward Teddy, setting off a wave of uncertainty within the Mitchell family.

To support Harry, Nicola arranges a vigil at Harry’s Barn, hoping to bring some closure. However, things take a turn when Asad makes another unexpected appearance and accuses Teddy of murder. In an emotional outburst, Harry steps in to defend his father, but later, he privately begs Teddy to reveal the truth.

Meanwhile, Nicola meets with a shadowy figure named Benji, desperate for answers about Shireen’s whereabouts. Her inquiry hints that more secrets about the young woman’s fate could soon be exposed.

Nicola’s Dark Secret Exposed

Nicola’s troubles deepen when Teddy overhears her on the phone making a suspicious call. Pressured by the situation, she is forced to confess that she has been involved in drug dealing. Her revelation threatens to drive an even deeper wedge between her and the rest of the Mitchell clan.

Amidst the chaos, Harry finds himself overwhelmed and lashes out at The Albert. His erratic behavior leads to a confrontation with Felix (Matthew James Morrison), escalating into a physical altercation. As Nicola and Teddy rush to intervene, their own issues are momentarily pushed aside.

Despite Nicola’s insistence that Teddy abandon his business dealings with Junior Knight, he remains determined. Keeping her in the dark, Teddy secretly finalizes plans with Junior, hinting at more trouble ahead.

The Truth About Phil Mitchell Comes to Light

Elsewhere in Walford, Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden) family faces a difficult decision—it’s time to tell Lexi (Isabella Brown) the truth about where her grandfather is. Phil, currently in a mental health facility, has been struggling to engage with therapy, and his absence has caused confusion for his loved ones.

A heartbreaking misunderstanding arises when Nigel (Paul Bradley), who has been dealing with memory issues, mistakenly leads Lexi to believe Phil is dead. Devastated, Lexi runs to Billy (Perry Fenwick), prompting an emotional confrontation. Billy ultimately realizes that she deserves to know the full truth.

Callum (Tony Clay) takes on the difficult task of explaining everything to Lexi, leading to an emotional visit to Phil at the facility.

A Special Episode Delves into Phil’s Journey

Thursday’s episode offers a unique perspective, spanning four weeks of Phil’s journey inside the mental health unit. Struggling to adapt, Phil finds himself under the care of support worker Yasmin, who encourages him to engage in therapy and group activities. Despite his initial resistance, he eventually bonds with fellow patient Gaz, played by guest star Keith Allen.

This introspective episode provides a rare look into Phil’s personal battles, shedding light on the struggles he has kept hidden for so long.

Lily Slater’s Grief Takes Its Toll

Meanwhile, Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) is still grappling with the loss of Martin Fowler (James Bye) after the tragic Queen Vic explosion. Her friends Amy (Ellie Dadd) and Avani (Aaliyah James) rally around her, offering support as she navigates her grief.

Sharon and Teddy’s Complicated Relationship

The week also sees unresolved emotions between Teddy and Sharon (Letitia Dean) come to the forefront. When they cross paths at the Boxing Den, Teddy admits he still has feelings for her, leaving Sharon in a difficult position. Will she reciprocate his emotions, or is she still too hurt by the past?
