EastEnders\u2019 Harry Mitchell\u2019s drug-induced downward spiral<\/a> continues next week, as his addiction leads him to steal money to fund his habit. Broken from his time in captivity, he was forced to turn to drugs to escape his bleak reality \u2013 but now he\u2019s developed a serious dependency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harry is trying to keep the extent of his addiction a secret from his worried family, but without any income of his own, he\u2019s forced into desperate measures to get his fix\u2026<\/p>\n

Seeking out his next hit, Harry lies to his mum Nicola about needing her credit card for something, but secretly uses it to buy drugs. When Nicola then heads off to court for Teddy\u2019s bail hearing, she leaves Harry with Billy and Honey \u2013 but it\u2019s not long before he\u2019s on the rob again.<\/p>\n

“Unbeknown to Harry, his dad Teddy plans to plead guilty<\/a>,” explains our insider. “Nicola is worried what this news will do to her already fragile son, so she decides to go to court alone.<\/p>\n

“She ropes Billy and Honey into babysitting Harry. But he soon gives them the slip and sneaks out to find more cash for drugs\u2026”<\/p>\n

Later, Harry bumps into Okie\u2019s grieving sister Dejia, who invites him to attend her brother\u2019s memorial. When Kojo finds the invite, he persuades Harry to go with him \u2013 but is it a bad idea?<\/p>\n

“Harry feels guiltier than ever about murdering Okie<\/a> when he comes face-to-face with his sister,” says our source. “Kojo really wants to attend the memorial, but for Harry, it could prove too much.<\/p>\n

“Rather than absolving him of his guilt and bringing a sense of closure, the service will most likely bring all of his turbulent emotions bubbling to the surface.”<\/p>\n

Also this week, Anna becomes determined to build bridges between her sister Gina, Harry and Kojo before she jets off on her travels<\/a>, prompting her to speak to dad George about forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Inspired, George takes the advice of Anna and Kojo\u2019s therapist and heads over to the Mitchell house to make amends with Harry\u2026<\/p>\n

“Harry, Gina and Kojo used to be such a tight-knit group, but getting involved with Ravi\u2019s gang has destroyed all that,” our insider reminds us. “Anna feels awful about going on her new adventure while her family are left in tatters, so she decides to do something about it.”<\/p>\n

With the help of his friends and family, can Harry overcome his addiction and his guilt? Or does he face a difficult battle ahead, even with the support of his loved ones?<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
