It hasn’t been an easy time for Teddy, who joined the BBC soap last year with his family, constantly seeing things go wrong.

From learning that his girlfriend Sharon Watts cheated on him with a returning Grant Mitchell, to helping his estranged wife Nicola cover-up the murder of Shireen Bashar, Teddy has had the odds against him many times.

The one thing keeping Teddy going is his love of his children Harry and Barney Mitchell, but little does he know the latter is actually Zack Hudson’s child.

In scenes that will air on Monday, May 26, Zack puts his new plan into action and goes to Ravi Gulati for a loan to fund his escape away from Walford.

Ravi warns him not to mess with Nicola and reveals she recently asked him to help move a body. Stunned by the admission, Zack confides in Linda Carter, who convinces him to go to the police with this information to protect Barney, and what he tells DC Powers is enough to get Nicola arrested.

With Nicola arrested, Zack decided to tell Harry the truth about Barney’s paternity, hoping he’d help get Barney to safety.

In a stunning twist, Harry reveals the truth to Teddy about Barney, in a twist fans expected not to happen until later in the year.

On Tuesday, May 27, Nicola tries to deny Zack’s paternity but is forced to come clean when Teddy continues to press her on the facts.

A painful confrontation unfolds as Teddy demands answers, but both he and Nicola are shaken when Harry reveals Zack’s plan to leave with Barney.

Taking drastic measures to stop Zack, Harry bundles him into his car boot before speeding out of Walford. Teddy is desperate to stop Harry, so he intercepts Honey Mitchell, Billy Mitchell and Nigel Bates and demands a lift to follow the car.

Just when it looks as though Teddy has sorted everything, things take a turn for the worse when a car veers off the road and submerges itself in the lake.

While it’s unclear who car goes in the water, Teddy, Zack, Harry, Honey, Billy or Nigel may not make it past next week’s episodes.

The following episode on Wednesday, May 28, sees the survivors scramble bankside to try and save those trapped within the vehicle.

As news of events reaches Walford, Vicki Fowler takes matters into her own hands and heads to No.1 to reveal a truth.
