William Mitchell (EastEnders)

William Mitchell is a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders.

Background

On 20 March 2007, Honey Mitchell found out she was pregnant with her second child, and told Pat Evans, asking her not to tell her husband Billy. Pat berated Honey for not telling Billy and when she eventually did tell him. Billy was distant with Honey after this but the two finally had a heart to heart and he admitted to having the same concerns as her including that they may love the new baby more than their first child Janet, which Honey reassured him could never happen. After this the two agreed they wanted the new baby and gradually spread the news to their family. The baby was due on 13 November 2007. On 13 November 2007, Honey was knocked down due to an incident at The Queen Vic involving Jase Dyer, Terry Bates and Terry's gang. This caused the placenta to become dislodged from the uterine wall, and Honey went into labour. When he was born, it seemed that William had died because he wasn't breathing, however he eventually pulled through. Honey came up with the idea for him to be named after his father. She felt guilty that she was happy that he did not have Down's syndrome like his sister.
