Actor Roland Manookian will play Teddy Mitchell. The star is best known for his roles in films The Football Factory, RocknRolla and The Rise of the Footsoldier. Meanwhile, sons Harry and Barney are played by Elijah Holloway and Lewis Bridgeman, respectively.
Speaking on the new Mitchell men, executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: “I’m delighted to welcome Roland, Elijah and Lewis to EastEnders as we bring a new branch of the iconic Mitchell family to the Square.
“The arrival of Teddy, Harry and Barney will be a seismic shock for Billy and an unwelcome surprise for Phil. With their arrival sparking more questions than answers, it’s not long before the Mitchells find themselves at war as Teddy and his sons are thrust into the heart of the drama.”
The new Mitchells speak out
Speaking on his character, actor Roland Manookian said: “Teddy is an enigmatic sort of fella with old-school principles, but he’s tuned into modernity, too. It’s a lovely part to get my teeth into.”
Elijah, who plays Harry said: “Harry has a lot of charm and swagger, but he’s got a bit of a temper, too. He can’t resist trouble, or the ladies, so he’s ready to shake things up in typical Mitchell style!”
“Barney is an interesting character to explore because of his more introverted nature compared to the other members of his family, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he grows and develops in Albert Square,” revealed Lewis, who plays Barney.
