Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) has revealed that charges have been made following the murder of Shireen Bashar.

Earlier this month, police arrested the Mitchells’ associate Benji (Carl Prekopp) for the girl’s death.

However, they had serious questions for Mitchell matriarch Nicola (Laura Doddington) – why was bracelet was found on the body, and why was Benji handed £20k in the hours before being caught?

Her eldest son Harry (Elijah Holloway), Shireen’s former partner, suspected that something more sinister was afoot, and later threatened to kill his mother.

After Teddy defused the situation, Nicola to her husband that Benji had helped to dispose of Shireen, though she was the one who had accidentally killed her during a row.

Since then, Harry has spiralled.

He’s hit drink and drugs, left the family home, and become more estranged from his parents every day. There seems to be little chance of a breakthrough, and it’ll take a lot for him to forgive them for keeping quiet.

This is despite the desperate interventions from Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) and Gina Knight (Francesca Henry), who have urged Harry to make amends.

In tonight’s episode, however, there seemed to be a chance of potentially putting everything behind them.

Heading to the pub for a drink with Gina, Harry was dismayed to run into his dad again. Teddy was reading the newspaper, and had seen that Benji had been charged with Shireen’s murder.

Harry was in disbelief, and walked away.
