Teddy is really the father of Nicola's baby, EastEnders fans predict

Is Nicola telling the truth about her child?

George Knight learned that he’s set to become a father again in EastEnders this week, amid an eventful week for the Mitchell clan… but is he really the father of Nicola’s baby? Emotions were at a high as Teddy stood trial for murder – a rap for which he was pleading guilty.

Meanwhile, Nicola was desperate to hold her family together, as son Harry struggled in the grip of drug addiction. Harry’s need for drugs only worsened as the week continue, with George accidentally letting slip about Teddy’s guilty plea.

Racked with guilt, Teddy confessed to George that he’d been the one who killed Okie. Ge was about to come clean to the police too, when Nicola blurted out that she was pregnant with George’s child.

But is this really the case? With Teddy’s warning to Billy looming large, some fans have predicted that Teddy might actually be the father.

EastEnders fans predict Teddy is father of Nicola’s baby

Taking to social media as this week’s scenes aired, fans shared their thoughts on Nicola’s pregnancy. And some wondered if Teddy and Nicola might have hooked up off-screen, leading to her falling pregnant with his child.

“Imagine if Nicola’s baby comes out with a pink cardigan draped over it’s shoulders,” joked one fan on X.

“Gutted Teddy’s gone. He’s definitely going to be the baby’s daddy,” said another, via Instagram.

“Anyone else get the feeling the baby’s going to turn out to be Teddy’s?” asked a third.

“I hope it is. Because Teddy and Nicola could very easily could have had an off screen one night stand, despite them not being together,” a fourth commented.

Could Nicola be lying about her unborn child’s paternity?

Teddy warned Billy about Nicola

Elsewhere in last night’s episode, Teddy issued a chilling warning to Billy about Nicola.

“She’ll ruin him,” Teddy told Billy. “You only know her when it’s too late. Don’t let her ruin anyone else’s life. Let this end with me.”

Will Billy tell George about Teddy’s warning? And, if so, what will George decide to do with this information?
