Blackmail horror for EastEnders teen in harrowing dark new storyline
A TEENAGE character in EastEnders is set to become a victim of blackmail in a harrowing new storyline.
Will Mitchell (Freddie Phillips), son of Billy (Perry Fenwick) and Honey (Emma Barton), first appeared in the BBC soap upon his birth in 2007.
In the years since, Will has grown up on and off in Albert Square, returning full-time in 2015.
Now, he is set to be at the centre of a dark storyline.
Upcoming scenes yet to air feature Will’s grandfather Stevie (Alan Ford) catching the teen as he is about to steal money from his mother’s purse.
Although Will feigns innocence, Stevie soon sees a text on his grandson’s phone which tells a different story altogether.

Stevie persuades Will to come clean, as it is revealed Will is being blackmailed.
Learning this, Stevie goes to inform Billy but bottles it at the last minute to ask Mo (Laila Morse) for help.
Recent weeks have already proved complicated for the Mitchell clan.
Stevie returned to Billy’s life after being estranged for decades, with the former hoping to reconnect.
Billy has been uninterested thus far, based on his father's past actions.
This includes Stevie having his two sons placed into a home when they were very young.
Monday’s episode saw the elder Mitchell attempt to reconnect with son Billy in the lead-up to Father’s Day.
Remembering he had taken Billy and brother Charlie fishing as boys, Stevie decides to organise a father-son fishing trip.
However, knowing that Billy wouldn't agree to join him alone, Stevie decided to include other Walford residents.
Meanwhile, the already expansive Mitchell family is set to grow further as surprise additions are set to join the clan.
