Teddy is quick to seize the moment by asking Sharon out on a date, but will she say yes this time?

Sharon is no stranger to having romantic entanglements with Mitchell men, as her love triangle with Grant and Phil Mitchell remains one of EastEnders‘ most iconic storylines.

Meanwhile, Teddy is looking to make a new life for himself and his sons in Walford following his father Stevie Mitchell’s sad exit this week.

Following more clashes with Phil, Stevie decided it was best for him to leave Albert Square — but not before selling Phil’s car out from under him and leaving the cash for Billy Mitchell.

Thursday’s streaming episode is set to feature even more tension for the Mitchell family when Billy and Teddy plan a family dinner without Phil.

Jay Brown tries to mend fences within the family by bringing Phil along for the meal, but the mood quickly sours when Phil hurls insults at Stevie for leaving his family again.

The combustible atmosphere at this family dinner could explode when Harry Mitchell decides to wind Phil up over his ‘missing’ car. Will Phil do something he regrets?
