EastEnders fans spot 'huge blunder' in Teddy's plan to save Nicola Mitchell from murder charge
In tonight's episode of EastEnders - Teddy Mitchell was seen trying to save Nicola from being caught for the murder of Shireen - but fans have spotted a huge blunder in his plan
It was another dramatic night in EastEnders tonight as Nicola and Teddy Mitchell continued their plan to get Nicola off the hook for the murder of Shireen.
Teddy, who is aware that Nicola at least ordered Shireen's killing, was seen stopping his ex-wife from digging up Shireen's body in Paradise Park last night.
As Nicola attempted to dig up Shireen's body while revealing why she killed her, Teddy could be seen running up to Nicola as he told her: "If we are going to fix this, you need to do exactly what I tell you to do, OK?"
In tonight's episode, Teddy offered hitman Benji £60,000 to move Shireen's body, however he wasn't having any of it, demanding £150,000 instead.
A stressed Nicola told Teddy they should sell Harry's Barn, something that devastated Teddy. However, Phil Mitchell then offered to lend Teddy £100,000 to help get him out whatever mess he was in.
At the end of the episode, Benji was seen attempting to dig up Shireen's body, before he was surrounded by police. "It's Nicola Mitchell you want!" he could be heard screaming to the police as they took him away. The camera then panned to Teddy, who could be seen looking on from his car. Therefore, it's presumed Teddy was the one who set him up.
However, fans have been left confused by his plan, stating that it really wasn't clever at all. Taking to Reddit to discuss the episode, one fan penned: "Calling the police is dumb surely? He [Benji] told his associates that he'd gone to meet Nicola and now he's suddenly been arrested? They'll come after them now?"
Another responded: "Yeah, like where tf is the logic here? Nicola's bracelet is buried with Shireen. Teddy was adamant he didn't want to hurt Harry but Shireen turning up dead will do that, especially when they find mummy dearests bracelet.
"Basically, Teddy had just blown this wide open. I wonder if it's something to do with his chat with Phil that he's thrown Nicola under the bus?"
A third replied: "Unless somehow, using the magic of time travel, Teddy went and dug up the body, got the bracelet back, reburied it and then phoned the police?"
A fourth agreed: "I thought this. The only way I can square it is that Teddy thinks throwing Nicola under the bus and getting Benji arrested will protect the kids, but surely if anything it's putting the spotlight back on Harry if he's there shouting about the Mitchells."
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

The police corner Vanessa in huge Emmerdale murder story
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) finds herself implicated in Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) murder when Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) drops her in it in Emmerdale. Things are getting nasty in the Dales after the discovery of Nate's body and accusations are levelled at two likely suspects. John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) – the actual perpetrator – is questioned by police, but not over his own possible guilt, Cain is the one in the frame. After arguing with Nate before he died, he is prime suspect. John does some quick thinking and talking to get Cain Dingle's (Jeff Hordley) name off the suspect list, and after Cain's own grilling by the police, he airs his suspicions that Tracy's dodgy behaviour makes her look guilty. So those are the two suspects, Cain and Tracy. John then does the unthinkable to secure Cain's freedom – he plants Nate's phone in the playhouse at Tracy's. When the police show up with a warrant, Tracy thinks she's done for when they find the mobile tucked away. Worse still, the police discover that the removal man who came to collect Nate's things doesn't exist. Things are looking bad for the single mum. More Trending The police reveal to her that they believe Nate died the day he was meant to leave, and thinking on her toes, Tracy blurts out an alibi – she was with Vanessa all day.

The EastEnders star was suspended by the BBC after a video emerged of him on the Strictly set using the term 'm********s' to describe the people of Blackpool, the seaside town where the show was being filmed. Blackpool Council's Tory group leader Paul Galley blasted: 'Everyone will be shocked at such a horrible comment and I join them in condemning it.' And the BBC told The Sun on Sunday: 'This language is entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect at the BBC. We have robust processes in place for this.' The Sun on Sunday understands Jamie has been suspended by the BBC from his role playing Jay Slater on EastEnders. Jamie made the offensive remark on a mobile phone video while the Strictly cast and crew were at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom last November for the flagship BBC1 series live show. He was backstage during rehearsals with his Strictly co-star Wynne Evans who said 'Oh my God' on the footage sent to a pal of Jamie's. Jamie, who has been on EastEnders since 2006, said in a statement to The Sun on Sunday: 'I want to apologise sincerely and wholeheartedly for the words I used in the video showing my reaction to making it through Blackpool week on Strictly. 'I am deeply sorry for any offence and upset my words and actions have caused. 'It is no excuse, but I did not fully understand the derogatory term I used and its meaning.

'Again, that is no excuse. 'But my regrettable actions are not a true reflection of my views, or who I am. 'I enjoyed every minute of my time in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and the town itself. 'The people of Blackpool have always been amazing with the Strictly crew, dancers and cast members. 'I know they will be again for this year's show and those in years to come. 'I am truly sorry.' The actor and Wynne were sharing their excitement after being told they were selected for the lucrative Strictly tour - which was staged nationwide earlier this year. Jamie, laughing, says on the video: 'Blackpool by the way. 'Absolute m********s'.' The soap star and his professional dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas were lauded in Blackpool after dancing the Jive to The Ketchup Song by Las Ketchup in the live show on November 16. This latest shock comes after opera singer Wynne was booted off the Strictly tour in January accused of making an inappropriate sexual comment, and later told his BBC Radio Wales contract is not being renewed following a four-month investigation. 5 Borthwick pictured with dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas on Strictly Credit: PA 5 The comments sparked an angry reaction from disability campaigners and the people of Blackpool Credit: Alamy And it follows The Sun on Sunday revealing in April how Jamie and Wynne were rapped by BBC bosses for sharing a joke over a sex toy video backstage at the Strictly tour in Birmingham - which happened before the latter's suspension.
