EastEnders fans ‘rumble’ who killed Harry’s ex-girlfriend Shireen – and it’s not Nicola

EastEnders fans have been left convinced they know who killed Harry Mitchell’s ex-girlfriend Shireen after she was murdered off-screen and her body hidden

EastEnders has unveiled a sinister turn of events for Harry Mitchell (played by Elijah Holloway), who was taken into custody on suspicion of murdering his former girlfriend, Shireen. However, fans of the BBC One drama believe they have identified the actual murderer.

In recent instalments, police officer Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) was taken aback to discover that Harry had been implicated in the death of his ex-partner, who disappeared after a public dispute. Nonetheless, when Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) questions her new beau Harry about the murder allegations, he immediately refutes them and discloses his tumultuous relationship with Shireen.

Harry has since persisted in extorting Jack, but on Monday (November 11), Penny persuaded Jack to allow her to converse with Shireen’s friend Felicity.

She was left unnerved upon learning about Harry’s history, and he was subsequently arrested as the Branning’s looked on. However, as Harry was being escorted into the police vehicle, his mother Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) made an unexpected appearance in Albert Square, reports the Daily Star.

On Tuesday, Nicola cautioned Penny, suspecting she was behind her son’s arrest. She also made a derogatory remark about Teddy’s style before providing Harry with a false alibi for the night under scrutiny.

Despite the investigator dismissing Nicola’s account, the police were compelled to release Harry. It later emerged that Nicola and Harry had a prearranged alibi in case he was ever apprehended.

Tensions rose within the Mitchell family as Nicola’s fabrications of a self-discovery trip in Bali were exposed, with her youngest son Barney (Lewis Bridgeman) witnessing the conflict uneasily.

The enigma of Shireen’s vanishing remains a hot topic among the Mitchells, and viewers are convinced they’ve cracked who’s behind her enigmatic demise – none other than Harry’s kid brother Barney, with their father Teddy (Roland Manookian) supposedly covering up for his lad.

Theories abound among EastEnders enthusiasts, some suggesting that studious Barney might have unwittingly caused Shireen’s death, with Teddy stepping in to shield his young son from the fallout.

On X, one user posited: “You think Barney punched Shireen (Harry’s ex) and he ended up accidentally killing her? #EastEnders @bbceastenders.”

An excited fan asserted: “My guess is Barney killed Shireen and they covered it up.”

Echoing the sentiment, another added: “More certain than ever that Teddy made Shireen disappear. #EastEnders.”

“The finger points firmly at Teddy – he must’ve bumped off Harry’s missus, or had someone do the dirty work #eastenders,” claimed another armchair detective.

EastEnders airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer
