It’s set to be a dramatic autumn in EastEnders as Teddy Mitchell faces an unwelcome blast from the past—his ex-wife, Nicola Mitchell, is heading to Albert Square.
Nicola, played by Doctors and Holby City star Laura Doddington, wastes no time making waves when she turns up unannounced. Determined to reconnect with her sons, Harry and Barney, Nicola’s arrival doesn’t sit well with Teddy, who is less than thrilled to see his ex invading his new territory. However, Nicola is a force to be reckoned with and won’t be easily pushed aside.
Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw teased Nicola’s arrival, saying: “Like all the great Mitchell women, Nicola is feisty, strong and loves her family. She and Teddy share a very complicated history, which will be fun to explore, as will her relationships with her two sons. We’re delighted to welcome the fantastic Laura Doddington to EastEnders to bring Nicola to life.”
Laura herself is equally excited, saying: “I still can’t believe I’ve joined EastEnders – I keep pinching myself! Nicola is a complex woman who comes in like the Tasmanian Devil! She’s strong and completely unapologetic about who she is. I’ve been so lucky to have my Mitchell boys, Roland, Elijah, and Lewis, and we already feel like a family. I’m loving every second so far.”
Nicola will be seen on screens later this autumn—prepare for fireworks!
