Nicola Mitchell debuts in EastEnders as family tensions rise
Nicola Mitchell, played by Laura Doddington, makes her debut in EastEnders this week. She is the ex-wife of Teddy Mitchell and mother to Harry and Barney Mitchell. Her arrival is set to create tension within the Mitchell family. Nicola's character is complicated, having been estranged from her sons. She arrives in Albert Square just as Harry faces legal troubles. Nicola aims to help her son while also dealing with her past relationship with Teddy and conflicts with other characters. Laura Doddington describes Nicola as a manipulative figure who wants to reunite her family. She will also clash with Sharon Watts, who has been flirting with Teddy. Doddington's casting was announced last month, and her character promises to bring drama to the show.
