Harry Mitchell plots against Phil in dangerous game in EastEnders
HARRY Mitchell is going to risk his family secrets getting exposed as he attempts to pull the wool over Phil’s eyes in new episodes of EastEnders.
Teddy Mitchell arrived in Walford with sons Harry and Barney in tow earlier this summer.
He was introduced as Billy Mitchell’s long lost half-brother, and the trio were initially welcomed to the borough.
However, suspicious behaviour on Teddy’s part has slowly made it clear that the family members are hiding a secret past.
And Phil Mitchell’s suspicions are going to be ignited when Harry starts acting shifty after being employed by him.
As the family settle into life in the village, Teddy decides it’s high time for his son to get a job.
He teams up with Sharon Watts to beg Phil to give Harry a trial shift at The Arches.
Harry himself is less than impressed by the plan, but quickly changes his tune when Jack Branning insults him by suggesting he doesn’t have any work ethic.
He decides to prove Jack wrong by going for the job – but does the opposite when he fails to show up for his shift.
His dad is left fuming with his lack of effort, but Harry quickly turns things around when he impresses Phil by stopping a thief from snatching Kathy Beale’s handbag.
But as soon as the lad is alone, he makes a suspicious phone call, hinting that he might have ulterior motives for wanting the job.
He meets a contact at McClunky’s and Jack overhears them planning something that rings alarm bells for him.
Jack orders a search warrant for the garage and Phil decides to take back his offer of a trial shift, convinced that Harry is bad news.
Teddy warns his son to be more careful, as something about the family could be exposed if the police start looking into their affairs.
He also manages to get Harry’s week of shifts guaranteed again after impressing Phil by organising a charity event at Mitchell Autos and pretending it was Harry’s idea.
Despite Teddy’s best attempts to cover for his son, Jack is still sharing his thoughts on Harry with anyone who is willing to listen.
Will this spell trouble for the Mitchells as neighbours and relatives start to become aware of their shady behaviour?
Or is Jack the one who should be watching his back?
