EastEnders Viewers Question Continuity After Will Mitchell Appears During Family Holiday

Producers say they consulted the Epilepsy Society to ensure the ongoing epilepsy storyline is portrayed accurately.

Overview

  • Fans highlighted that a recent episode stated the Mitchells left on 12 February for a long break with newcomer Bea housesitting.
  • Viewers noted Will Mitchell was shown in Walford on 25 February filming Davinder “Nugget” Gulati during a seizure in McClunky’s.
  • Social media posts described the inconsistency as a “silly” error and asked how Will could appear locally while supposedly abroad.
  • The Independent reported the confusion this week and said it had contacted the BBC for comment, with no public correction reported.
  • Executive producer Ben Wadey said the show sought guidance from the Epilepsy Society, with Nugget’s storyline intended to address stigma around epilepsy.
