Viewers know that Nicola killed her son Harry’s girlfriend Shireen and let him be blamed for it all.
In tense scenes, Harry confronted his mum after having spoken to Shireen’s brother Asad.
Having blown apart his mum’s cover story, a visibly grief stricken Harry demanded to know the truth.
Armed with a crowbar, Harry even threatened to set the building on fire, saying he had nothing else left to live for.
Teddy soon turned up – and Harry was stunned upon realising his dad was aware of Nicola’s actions.
Nicola claimed that she’d hired associate Benji to scare Shireen off, but he’d gone too far – and she ended up dead and buried at Paradise Park in Dartford.
Unaware he was also being lied to, Teddy backed up this version of events.
After Harry declared his parents were dead to him and stormed off, Nicola’s cover story slipped.
Sobbing, she said to Teddy: “It’ll never be over. I should never have asked Benji to move her.”
Teddy, now confused and angry, asked what she was hiding from him.
EastEnders fans predict shock new romance between two unlikely characters after telltale sign
When he threatened to go and ask Benji, Nicola confessed: “Teddy, I never meant…
“We had an argument and she fell. There was nothing I could do.
“It was me, Teddy. I killed her.”
Left absolutely furious, Teddy fumed at Nicola for lying to him and their sons.
He raged: “You put Harry through hell. Nearly cost us our lives. Just to keep yourself out of trouble?”
What will Teddy do with this new information – and what will happen next?
EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
- EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
- Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
- Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
- Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.
