EastEnders' latest addition, Nicola Mitchell (played by Laura Doddington), has stirred the pot in Walford with her mysterious connection to Zack Hudson (James Farrar), sparking wild theories about her son Barney (Lewis Bridgeman). Nicola burst onto Albert Square earlier this week when her eldest, Harry (Elijah Holloway), was apprehended by police on suspicion of murder. She concocted a questionable alibi to clear Harry's name, but it wasn't long before an astonishing revelation emerged.
Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) was visibly agitated by Nicola's arrival, and tensions quickly escalated between the ex-lovers. Nicola's tales of jetting off to Bali to 'find herself' were exposed as fabrications, leaving her youngest, Barney, squirming. It was revealed that Nicola's stint as a beautician ended disastrously, landing her in prison for ABH following a mishap with unlicensed lip fillers.
Teddy divulged that the unfortunate client had been hospitalised for three days, and Nicola hadn't even extended the courtesy of a refund. The drama intensified on Wednesday (November 13), when Nicola unexpectedly bumped into Zack outside The Queen Vic, reports MyLondon . "I almost had a heart attack when I saw you at that bar," she exclaimed upon recognising him, hinting at a previous brief encounter.
"Some men are unforgettable, even after all these years," she added flirtatiously. "You still a PT? My core ain't been the same since you had a go at it." After they exchanged a bit of cheeky ban.
