EastEnders reveals Peggy’s gobsmacking new owner in early iPlayer release twist

As a long-time resident of Walford and having seen more than my fair share of Mitchell drama, I must say that Nicola Mitchell is quite the character! She certainly knows how to stir things up and keep us all on our toes. Her latest move, snatching Peggy’s from under Teddy’s nose, was nothing short of audacious!


Since her arrival on EastEnders, actress Laura Doddington’s character, Nicola Mitchell, has brought a refreshing breeze into the show.

And in Thursday 14th November’s episode, she proved just what a troublemaker she can be.

In the opening scene, I found myself growing increasingly aware that Nicola seemed undeniably suspicious of Roland Manookian, and his dealings with women in general, hinting at a deep-rooted paranoia.

She accidentally ran into Emma Barton (Honey), who had a conversation with Teddy moments before. Instead of greeting her first, she became curious about their discussion.

Honey clarified that she’s currently spending time with Billy, as it turns out he’s Teddy’s sibling.

Initially hesitant, Nicola eventually understood that as a Mitchell, the sky’s the limit, and decided to proceed with it.

Gullible Honey ended up revealing she’s having lunch with Teddy and Billy, and Nicola decided to invite herself along, forgetting she’s actually not Teddy’s wife any more.

The beginning of the meal was somewhat awkward, as Nic and Ted exchanged sharp words, causing Billy and Honey to remain silent and observe.

The intensity of their altercations escalated significantly, as Teddy disclosed that Nicola had previously served time in prison, which seemed to provoke the most severe exchange between them.

Later on, Nicola opted to take an underhanded approach. After spreading a tale about their romantic encounter, she made her final play and inquired from Teddy whether it would be possible for her to live in the basement, all in the best interests of their kids.

In a strong-willed manner, Teddy expressed his disapproval of the suggestion. However, it was evident that she had successfully persuaded the audience, as even Billy acknowledged that Ted’s priorities should be focused on the children.

Later, he begrudgingly agreed, but reminded her it was pretty grim there.

Despite showing no signs of concern whatsoever, and appearing content with having her will prevail, she didn’t rest on her laurels.

Noticing Teddy’s attempts to strike a deal with Phil concerning Peggy’s, Nicola chose to engage Phil in a brief conversation of her own.

As a film enthusiast, I received a call to dash over and close the business deal I’d been working on for so long. I was accompanied by my trusted partner Sharon (Letitia Dean), but when we arrived, it turned out that we had missed the mark: Nicola had already signed off with Phil, using her divorce settlement to offer a more enticing package than what I could muster. Consequently, Nicola is now the proud owner of Peggy’s establishment, albeit under Harry’s name above the door, as her past criminal record disqualifies her from obtaining a license.

Teddy was positively gobsmacked – what other tricks does Nicola have up her sleeve?
