A dark EastEnders storyline could be set to “ramp up” according to one cast member, amid fears for Harry Mitchell.
With the character set for horrifying scenes in a kidnapping ordeal, actor Elijah Holloway has told The Mirror what fans can expect. In an exclusive chat, the star confessed fans would “soon get answers” about something linked to the storyline.
He also revealed things would escalate, but shared it was an “important” story to tackle. He teased things would get dark, but he’s hopeful things will work out for his character.
Elijah told us: “It is gonna keep ramping up. The story we are telling and starting to get into is really important, and it’s a story that needs to be told, as hateful as it might be.

“But it will continue to ramp it up. Harry is in a bad situation at the moment, and he got there by trying to protect his best mate because he loves his best mate, and he would do anything to protect him.”
Elijah hopes that Harry and Kojo will have more scenes together, and that the bond will continue. He shared: “I hope so. It’s a pure relationship.
“They bring the best out of each other and I’d love to see it continue, but we will see what happens.” We also asked the actor whether Harry’s ruthless mother Nicola could get involved and help her son.
Remaining coy, he shared with us: “We will see, tune in! We will get answers soon but she has been trying to get in the situation, and trying to help Harry. He’s got a lot of pride.
“Every time his mum gets involved it goes wrong so you can’t blame him too much for wanting to keep her away, but we will see. Maybe it gets to that point, maybe it doesn’t. We’ll have to see.”
