Harry continues to spiral

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming now on BBC iPlayer but has not yet aired on BBC One – in which Harry Mitchell sinks to an all-new low.

Nicola struggles to hold her family together in EastEnders today (Tuesday, December 9), as Harry hits rock bottom in his drug-addled state. This comes after Harry learned dad Teddy is pleading guilty to Okie’s murder – a crime he committed, albeit in self-defence.

Lashing out as Nicola forbids him from going to the police, Harry is desperate to score again.

As the story continues today, George reels in shock at Nicola’s baby news. Meanwhile, Harry is horrified when his mum rescinds her offer of money for drugs. While she and George both head off (George to confirm Nicola’s story with Honey), Harry is left home alone with Barney.

Barney is unsettled when he finds Harry trashing the place, looking for cash. As he reveals that he knows Harry is looking for drugs money, Barney is, in turn, shocked when his brother tells him about Teddy’s guilty plea and Nicola’s pregnancy.

Harry, meanwhile, strikes gold (literally) when he spots Nicola’s wedding ring on the sofa.

When Nicola returns home, she finds Harry passed out on the sofa. Barney confronts her over everything that Harry has said and, when she admits he was telling the truth, he storms off to see Zack.

Alone with Harry, Nicola blasts him for pawning her wedding ring to buy drugs. She meets up with George, leaving him alone once again. Accepting that the baby’s his, George promises not to tell the police about Harry’s confession.

They return home to find Harry gone, leaving only a note behind. “See you in court!” it reads, leaving Nicola horrified.

Will Harry turn himself in to the police?
