EastEnders: Zack is Barney Mitchell’s dad
Tonight’s EastEnders episode saw Barney and Zack have a heated conversation at Harry’s Barn where Zack begged the young lad to stay quiet about Sharon and Grant’s night of passion.
Barney wanted to tell Teddy the truth but Zack reminded Barney that Sharon was acting out of grief and that she really has feelings for Barney’s dad.
As Barney fought back, he started to experience stomach pains and collapsed to the ground. He was then rushed to hospital.
At the hospital, a conversation about blood came up; Zack was an A blood type and Barney was AB.
Zack then started going through the dates of his and Nicola’s relationship in his head. They were together 16 years ago, and Barney was born 15 years ago…
Working things all out, Zack then asked Nicola if he was Barney’s dad and she was forced to tell him that he is.
