EastEnders has confirmed a romance between Teddy Mitchell and Sharon

Watts following his arrival in the village.

Teddy arrived in Walford earlier this month alongside sons Harry and Barney,

with the family having some repairing to do given their estranged relationship with Stevie.

Meanwhile, Sharon has been mulling over her knowledge of Keanu Taylor’s

death, with the character even sharing a kiss with Phil earlier this month –

but soon she will be on a collision course with Teddy.

In next week’s scenes, the Mitchells congregate at The Vic to discuss the situation regarding Will, which has seen the youngster being blackmailed in a catfishing story. Phil, ever the man of action, suggests a plan, though Teddy implores they should be more tactful.

The pair subsequently have a game of darts after Stevie suggests they quit bickering, with the stakes gradually getting higher after each round. Billy later sides with Teddy when it comes to Will’s situation, leading to more tension.

Teddy makes a big show of bowing to Phil in a sarcastic manner, but they later bond after Phil suggests a lock-in at The Boxing Den in order to get the family closer together. An onlooking Billy notices the pair growing closer, but doesn’t say anything.
