EastEnders fans left distracted by newcomer Teddy Mitchell's 'annoying' habit
The Mitchells were left in turmoil on EastEnders as newcomer Teddy Mitchell rocked up in Albert Square - but viewers were left distracted by his 'annoying' habit
Teddy, a new character in EastEnders, has already started causing a stir among the Mitchells, much to the annoyance of viewers who have taken issue with his 'irritating habit'. Teddy, along with his sons Harry and Barney, arrived in Walford in search of his 'missing' father.
After being contacted by the hospital as Stevie's next of kin following an accident, Teddy made his way to Walford General.
Upon reaching the hospital, Teddy interrupted a conversation between Will Mitchell and Stevie. This led to Stevie pretending not to know Will, piquing Teddy's curiosity and prompting him to head straight to Albert Square.
Once there, he instructed Harry and Barney to familiarise themselves with the area. While they were busy mingling with the locals, Teddy kept a close eye on Billy and Will before confronting the teenager in the Square's gardens.
After recognising that Will cared for Stevie, Teddy took him to The Vic where he probed him about the Mitchell family, reports the Daily Star.
Soon after, Billy and Honey received a call from Elaine Peacock alerting them that their son was at the pub with a stranger. Within moments, Phil Mitchell was losing his cool, demanding to know who Teddy was.
This led to Stevie making a surprising revelation - Teddy is Billy's brother, leaving the rest of the family in a state of confusion.
EastEnders fans have been left less than impressed with newcomer Teddy's fashion choices, particularly his preppy jumper-over-the-shoulders look.
Flocking to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, one viewer exclaimed: "As much as I didn't want more thuggish Mitchell's running around the square, I quite like teddy (for now), but that jumper scarf thing has got to go #EastEnders."
Another fan was quick to demand action from the wardrobe department: "Im going to need the EastEnders costume department to delete Teddy's jumper drapped around his shoulders ASAP. I can't watch this unnatural fashion item placed around his neck for the next year."
A third viewer couldn't hold back their dismay, commenting: "It's been 30 seconds and I need the newbie to remove his jumper from around his shoulders. #EastEnders."
The sartorial debate continued with a quip from another fan: "I wonder if sweater weather is like Junior with his suit and keeps his sweater on his shoulders while bathing and having sex".
And yet another viewer questioned the practicality of Teddy's attire: "This new cricketer helps himself into someone's house and honeys expression so casual What's with that pink sweater in 30 degrees heat ? Just come off the cricket pitch?"
