EastEnders has confirmed a surprise new murder suspect as a historic case is revisited next week.
Last year, it was revealed that Harry Mitchell was in the frame for his ex-girlfriend Shireen Bashar’s disappearance, and he was arrested for her murder.
Harry’s mum Nicola found out about his arrest and gave her son an alibi for the night Shireen went missing. While Nicola was lying, she gave specific details about the case and was able to get Harry released.

But in scenes that will air next week, the case is revisited on the four-year anniversary of Shireen’s disappearance.
Harry gets an unexpected visit from Shireen’s brother Asad at The Arches but is relieved when Asad says he no longer believes he harmed his sister.
Nicola organises a vigil at Harry’s Barn for her son to remember Shireen, but she gets a shock when Asad arrives – and accuses none other than Teddy Mitchell of Shireen’s murder.
As Teddy denies Asad’s claims, Harry steps in to protect his dad, but back home, he begs him, to tell him the truth. Meanwhile, Nicola visits a mystery man called Benji and asks him where Shireen is. What does she know?
The next day, Nicola is snubbed by Harry, who is in a bad state, while Teddy meets up with Junior Knight to discuss their new business plans.
Nicola is summoned to Walford East by Ravi Gulati, who explains that a dangerous supply of drugs are in circulation. Later, she is caught by Teddy while on the phone to a drug supplier, and she is forced to tell her ex-husband about her dealing.
Meanwhile, Harry continues to spiral after the events of the week and makes a show of himself at The Albert. While under the influence, he picks a fight with Felix Baker, and his parents have to drag him home.
Back at No.1, Nicola tries to get Teddy to withdraw his support of Junior’s business proposal, though just why she is against the plans hasn’t been revealed.
Later at the Boxing Den, Teddy tells Sharon Watts he still cares for her, after the drama of the previous week. He then secretly calls Junior and confirms a business deal, deciding to keep this from his ex-wife.
