What’s happening on EastEnders tonight?
This week’s EastEnders will see Stevie Mitchell press grandson Will over the theft of Lola’s charity money.

While later on in the week, Billy Mitchell is left shocked when the brother he never knew he had arrives in town.
New Mitchell family on EastEnders
Stevie’s son Teddy turns up on the Square with his two sons – Harry and Barney. Teddy is actually Billy’s half-brother, with Billy having no idea that he existed.
Roland Manookian will play the character of Teddy, with Elijah Holloway playing Harry. Lewis Bridgeman will be bringing Barney to life.
Speaking about the new arrivals, EastEnders’ Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said: “The arrival of Teddy, Harry and Barney will be a seismic shock for Billy and an unwelcome surprise for Phil.
“With their arrival sparking more questions than answers, it’s not long before the Mitchells find themselves at war as Teddy and his sons are thrust into the heart of the drama.”
EastEnders usually airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
