Now in today’s episode the mystery of what happened to Harry Mitchell’s girlfriend Shireen has been revealed.

And while suspicion had fallen on Harry and Harry’s dad Teddy – the truth was exposed tonight and it was another family member.

Harry’s mum Nicola realised that with Shireen’s brother coming to Walford on the fourth anniversary of her disappearance – the truth was at risk of coming out.

But when Teddy revealed he was determined to find Shireen to clear his and Harry’s name, Nicola met up with a mysterious man.

Getting into his car, he said: “I thought you said we were never going to meet again. 

“Not that I’m sad to be seeing you again, you look good with a few miles on the clock.”

“Shut up Benji,” she replied. 

“That job you did for me a couple of years back, someone’s running their mouth. They’ve got it backwards but it’s all kicking off again. I need to know where she is.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Benji replied.

Handing over cash, Nicola prompted the man’s memory.

He told her: “Paradise Park. Industrial estate just outside of Dartford. It’s been derelict for years. Don’t worry, nobody’s going to dig up your little secret.”

“I hope so, for your sake as well as mine,” replied Nicola. 

Darkest soap storylines

Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…

EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) – Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.

Emmerdale: Holly’s drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) – In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale’s first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.

Hollyoaks: Luke’s rape (2000) – Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs – who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.

Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) – Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.

“I’m just getting my family back on track. They can never know I killed that girl or I’ll lose them forever.”

With Nicola confirmed as Walford’s newest killer – will she strike again?
