In a dramatic twist on EastEnders, Teddy Mitchell orchestrated the arrest of Benji to shield his family from the consequences of Nicola Mitchell’s past actions.
🕵️♂️ Teddy’s Calculated Move
Nicola had previously confessed to Teddy that she hired Benji to intimidate Shireen, Harry Mitchell’s ex-girlfriend. However, the situation escalated when Shireen discovered a family secret—that Teddy was not Barney’s biological father—and threatened to expose it. In a desperate bid to keep this secret, Nicola’s plan led to Shireen’s death, and her body was buried in Paradise Park. As construction was set to begin on the site, Nicola sought Benji’s help to relocate the body, agreeing to pay him £150,000.
Teddy, initially considering paying off Benji, had a change of heart after a heartfelt conversation with his son, Harry. Realizing the importance of honesty and the potential repercussions of further deceit, Teddy decided to set a trap. He tipped off the police, leading them to catch Benji in the act of digging up Shireen’s body. Benji was arrested, protesting that Nicola was the true culprit.
