EastEnders has aired devastating scenes involving Harry Mitchell, as Kojo Asare bravely attempts to free him from his hostage nightmare. As the harrowing drugs storyline enters a new phase, Harry’s life remains in danger – and Kojo could be in big trouble.

Okie has been keeping Harry chained up in Kojo’s flat for weeks, and he is now barely conscious as his condition has deteriorated significantly over time.

Having recently returned to Walford, Kojo has this week been asked to help with the drugs operation. While he is being kept on a tight leash, he secretly promised Harry that he would help set him free.

In today’s episode, Teddy returned from his trip to Cardiff to search for his missing son – and his first port of call was to knock on the door of Kojo’s flat and call for Harry.

Okie kept Kojo quiet so Teddy didn’t get an answer, but Teddy was now convinced that Harry was in trouble so gathered George and Junior for a meeting.

He told the Knights that Kojo was being taken advantage of and that a drugs operation was being run from his flat. George was horrified and went to call the police, but Teddy said that this would incriminate Kojo.

Meanwhile, Kojo put a plan into action and told Okie that Harry was seriously ill and desperately needed painkillers.

Realising that Harry could die, Okie left to get him medicine, urging Kojo not to leave the flat in the meantime. Once alone, Kojo searched the flat and eventually found the key he needed to free Harry from his chains.

However, Harry was too weak to walk and in heartbreaking scenes, he told Kojo to leave him in the flat and get help.

Kojo reluctantly fled and found George, Teddy and Junior, leading them to the flat to find Harry. But when they arrived, Harry was gone, having already been taken away by Okie.

They headed outside and found Harry being put into a van, but Okie and his workers dropped his body and ran away when they heard sirens approaching.

George could only apologise to his brother as it was revealed that he had called the police. But Harry was also left in a critical condition – will he be okay?
