Teddy Mitchell is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Roland Manookian. Teddy was introduced by executive producer Chris Clenshaw in episode 6931, broadcast on 26 June 2024, as the head of an extension to the soap's Mitchell family. The character debuted alongside his sons Harry (Elijah Holloway) and Barney (Lewis Bridgeman), and was initially billed as a charming and strong-willed, but cunning presence. His storylines in the series have included his arrival in search of his father Stevie Mitchell (Alan Ford), his discovery that Stevie had another family, his protective nature over his sons, his relationship with Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), igniting a feud between the Mitchells and the Panesar family, and the arrival of his estranged wife Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington).

Throughout his time on the serial, Teddy has been depicted as a charming and confident father, but with a more sinister side hidden beneath. The character, alongside his two sons, were first announced on 6 June 2024. After being cast, Manookian was both surprised and excited to have received the role, describing Teddy as an interesting part to "get [his] teeth into".^[2] Teddy's enigmatic personality attracted praise from both viewers and critics.
