FAMILY SH0CKER! Teddy And Harry HIT WITH LIFE-CHANGING NEWS In EastEnders As SECRET FROM THE PAST RETURNS TO HAUNT THEM BOTH

EastEnders‘ Teddy and Harry Mitchell have finally received the bombshell news that Teddy isn’t Barney’s biological father.

Viewers will know that Barney has been brought up believing he is Teddy’s son, but he is actually the result of a past fling that Nicola Mitchell had with Zack Hudson.

Since finding out the truth that he is Barney’s father, Zack has grown closer to Barney and has been plotting to leave Walford with his son.

Meanwhile, Nicola is also involved in a murder plot after killing her son Harry’s ex-girlfriend Shireen Bashar four years ago.

She recently enlisted help to move Shireen’s body after finding out that her ex-husband Teddy was planning a construction project on the burial site.

In today’s episode, Zack put his new plan into action and went to Ravi Gulati to ask for a loan in order to fund his escape.

After Zack told Ravi that Barney was his son, Ravi warned Zack not to mess with Nicola, telling him that she recently asked him to help move a body.

Zack asked him to take the information to the police, but Ravi declined, saying: “Don’t take any chances, not with her.”

Zack confided in Linda Carter, saying that Nicola killed Shireen and that he was worried Nicola would kill him. Linda convinced him to go to the police to protect Barney.

She said: “What’s the most grown up, sensible thing to do if you think your son is living with a killer?”

Zack told DC Powers that Nicola had told him the exact way she murdered Shireen, and Nicola was arrested and taken to the station for questioning.

When Zack saw Harry’s reaction to Nicola being arrested, he went to see him, telling Harry the truth about Shireen’s murder and Barney’s paternity.

Hoping that Harry would help him get Barney to safety, Zack asked him to convince Barney to leave, saying: “Barney, he ain’t safe with them and he deserves a better life.”

Later, when Nicola was released, Harry revealed the truth to Teddy, telling him he’s not Barney’s dad, Zack is.

“Stop defending her,” Harry said. “She slept with Zack 16 years ago. She’s playing you for a right mug and has been for years. ‘Cos you ain’t Barney’s dad, Zack is.”
