Privacy Notice The emotional departure on EastEnders was aired in an early release on BBC iPlayer. Stevie Mitchell, portrayed by Alan Ford, left Walford after executing a clever revenge plot against Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden). Billy (Perry Fenwick) was also left shocked after discovering the truth about his mother’s death. Stevie was urged to leave his younger son Teddy (Roland Manookian), but he wasn’t about to let that happen and jumped into a taxi to set things right. He also managed to get back at Phil, who had set him up for theft. Meanwhile, Teddy tried to cheer up Billy. , but Stevie arrived at The Queen Vic and pleaded with his brother to listen to their father, knowing that otherwise, Stevie wouldn’t back down. The long-standing character confessed that getting to know his grandchildren had been incredibly meaningful to him, adding that he would carry the guilt and shame of his actions for the rest of his life. He then expressed his pride in his sons before leaving them to reflect on his words.

Stevie was later spotted outside, giving Phil’s car the once-over and cautioning him about the risks of pushing away his family. In a quick maneuver, he managed to nab the keys to Phil’s motor. The keys were swiftly passed on to Mo Harris (Laila Morse), who flogged the car and handed over a tidy sum to Stevie, which he had kept away for Billy. When Phil realised his car had vanished, he was left fuming and reported the theft to the police, who weren’t exactly speedy in their response.

Stevie asked Billy if he could say his goodbyes to Will (Freddie Phillips) and Janet (Grace). He shared some heartfelt words with his grandkids and had a relatively calm farewell with Billy, leaving the cash behind subtly for them. Stevie then shared a tearful goodbye smooch with an emotional Mo, as they both reflected on what could have been if he’d been able to stick around.

Standing alone and gazing at Billy’s house, Stevie confessed his deep love for Billy, who was also battling his own emotions as he sat with Teddy. Billy soon found the cash, along with a photo of Stevie, himself, and their late brother Charlie from a day out in 1960. As Phil’s car drama unfolded, Stevie whizzed off in a taxi while grinning to himself. From what we gather, this seems to be a final hurrah for Stevie, but who knows, if we might see him again….
