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.

EastEnders’ Nicola Mitchell takes drastic action to hide murderous secret – but can Teddy stop her?

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.

 

Soap’s biggest whodunnits

 

EastEnders – Who shot Phil Mitchell?

Coronation Street – Who killed Tina McIntyre ?

The popular actress Michelle Keegan played Tina McIntyre for several years on the Cobbles, but she ended up being killed by Rob Donovan in a tragic turn of events back in 2014 when he chased her onto the balcony of the Builder’s Yard. When she tried to leave, he pushed her and she fell off the roof, with Rob convinced he killed her. With Tina still alive, he attacked her with an iron bar but she survived that attack and was rushed to hospital as doctors tried to save her.

Emmerdale – Who pushed Emma Barton?

Emma was then pushed off a viaduct by Moira after she talked ill of her dead daughter Holly, who died of an overdose in October 2017. Although Moira was responsible for Emma’s death, her son, Adam Barton, took the fall for the murder since he was already a prime suspect and he didn’t want Isaac to grow up motherless.

Hollyoaks – Glove Hand Killer

The Gloved Hand Killer was a mystery serial killer, who claimed the lives of 7 characters between January and October 2015, all by injecting them with potassium chloride. The Gloved Hand Killer’s targets were all people who had done wrong in some shape or form.
