Teddy arrives in Walford searching for his dad, Stevie, sparking a major storyline.
EastEnders fans, brace yourselves! There’s a new Mitchell in town, and he’s bringing plenty of drama with him. Teddy Mitchell, played by an excited Roland Manookian, is set to make his grand entrance, along with his sons Harry and Barney.
“It’s a great honor to come into a show which is an institution in its own right, and to be part of a very well-established, stalwart family of Walford,” the actor shared. “It also comes with a bit of pressure too, which is welcome! You have these moments where you go, ‘Oh, this is so familiar to me’ because I’ve obviously seen it on screen over so many years. Then the work starts, and it becomes another location. I feel like I’m a regular at The Vic now.”
“Teddy is an enigmatic character. He’s a philosophical soul and very shrewd in business. He understands the needs of his family emotionally and acts as their protector,” he revealed.
Upon discovering Stevie in the hospital, Teddy decides to follow Billy and Will back to Walford to uncover the truth about his father’s whereabouts. “There’s a motive of trying to get to the bottom of what’s happened,” he teased.
“Billy and Phil are there to protect the youngest member of their clan. Teddy is a little bit shocked but remains calm to get to the bottom of it. All I can say is there’s going to be some fireworks.”
“It’s two bulls locking horns. Phil has a more aggressive approach, whereas Teddy is as fierce and dangerous but more diplomatic. He’s trying to get the best outcome for himself.”
“I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to cause loads of trouble, which I’m very much looking forward to. Plenty of mischief!”
These scenes air on EastEnders next week on BBC One/Two
