BBC EastEnders fans baffled over Mitchell family’s blunder as they’re rocked by life-changing news

EastEnders fans were introduced to the new secret Mitchell family on Wednesday night.

Soap fans will recall that the hit BBC One soap announced earlier this year that Billy Mitchell’s

world will be turned upside down this summer when he discovers that his dad, Stevie

Mitchell, has been hiding a secret family. The BBC One soap teased at the time: “Stevie’s son Teddy Mitchell will arrive in Walford later this June alongside his sons Harry and Barney in search of his dad, but he soon gets more than he bargained for when he comes face to face with Billy, Phil and the rest of the Mitchell clan. “Tensions will run high as Stevie confesses that Teddy is Billy’s half-brother, meaning there’s a whole new branch to the Mitchell family that neither Billy nor Phil knew anything about.” Viewers were briefly introduced to the new Mitchell family on Tuesday’s episode in an explosive ending while soap watchers got insight into the new characters on Wednesday night.

On Tuesday night, Teddy, who had been looking for Stevie, learnt his father was in hospital as he paid him a visit. After spotting Stevie with Billy and Will, Teddy decided to find out the truth about their identities as he followed them home to Albert Square. Teddy waited until they had left the property before he found a spare key outside the front door and let himself in, scaring Honey Mitchell in the process. The Mitchell family were left rocked over life-changing news ( Image: BBC) Later, Teddy decided to befriend Will as he took him to the pub and as the Mitchell family learnt that Will was with the intruder who broke into their home, they confronted Teddy.

It was all about to kick off until a reluctant Stevie was forced to admit that Teddy is Billy’s brother, leaving everyone in shock. Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers couldn’t get over the fact that Billy and Honey keep a spare key outside their front door, especially with the crime rate in Walford. One person said: “Who leaves keys under a plant pot these days?! #EastEnders”, a different account put: “Who keeps the spare house key under the welcome mat or plant pot in LONDON of all places? #EastEnders”, another said: “Who leaves keys under a flower pot these days? #EastEnders” while a different viewer added: “As if people put a key under a plant anymore #EastEnders.”
