Following the revelation of a significant secret in Thursday’s episode, viewers of EastEnders are certain they have figured out the true reason why Barney Mitchell’s mother, Nicola, abandoned her boys.
Viewers were shocked to learn the exact whereabouts of Teddy Mitchell’s ex-girlfriend, Nicola, in a recent EastEnders episode. After the family was introduced earlier this year, Nicola, who has not yet been on the show, is scheduled to do so.
Teddy was keen to move his boys Harry and Barney to Walford for a new beginning, as if he were running from something or someone. They quickly realized that they were hiding something from their history, something they had to let go of.
Additionally, it was disclosed that Nicola was not present, and there were indications that someone was looking for them. But in the most recent episode, a big bombshell was revealed as Teddy said that his ex had run away to Bali and left her kids behind.
Having a hard time dealing with what had happened, Barney called his mother and said he wanted to see her. He told Harry about his intentions to see their mother in the episode that aired on Thursday.
This seemed to worry Harry, who suggested that they were both better off without their mother and persuaded him to call off the plot. According to the Mirror, Barney said that their mother only left the family because of Teddy and their split after mentioning that Nicola had returned from Bali.

Harry told his younger brother to stop thinking about their mother and to avoid going to see her.Harry was clearly hiding something, and when it was revealed that Barney had fled to live with his mother, the truth came to light.
Harry was forced to acknowledge the previous conversation after Teddy found a message.
Completely engrossed in the confusing plot, fans are clamoring for clarification on Nicola’s unexplained disappearance.Harry told Barney a false story, careful not to reveal too much: “He contacted her. He continues to believe that she has spent the entire time in Bali.
Teddy’s stress, however, became evident as he realized, “Now he’s gonna find out the truth.”
One is left to wonder about their intentions and the hidden agendas behind the web of mystery surrounding Nicola’s departure and the fabricated Bali story.
Enthusiastic supporters are assembling hypotheses as it seems that a big reveal is still pending, with social media rumors pointing to links to Harry’s ex-girlfriend’s disappearance and possible criminal play. “What has Teddy done to his wife and why did he lie to Barns about her going to Bali?” a fan asked on social media. Furthermore, why do I think it has something to do with Harry’s girlfriend going missing? Some fans are speculating about even more sinister developments; one believes Harry’s mother may be involved in the scandal, having “killed Harry’s ex,” while another considers the possibility of incarceration or shady connections to Harry’s missing ex-partner.
