EastEnders fans have picked up on a ‘longing’ look between Harry Mitchell, and his ex-girlfriend Shireen’s brother Asad – and they’re convinced there’s more to the relationship than meets the eye.

Warning: EastEnders spoilers follow.

Newcomer to the long-running BBC soap Asad Bashar (Aslan Amjad) made his first appearance on 17 March, turning up somewhat unexpectedly to reunite with Harry – who had been dating Asad’s sister Shireen, until the latter’s disappearance four years prior.

EastEnders viewers now know that Nicola (Harry’s mother) caused Shireen’s disappearance due to a confession from the matriarch, but they don’t know why.

But following the most recent episode of the soap, theories have started to form, after viewers witnessed a chemistry between Harry and Asad that seemed too intense to just be a friendship.

When Asad reappears in Walford, all he knows is that Harry and Shireen had had a fierce argument, with the latter disappearing, never to be seen again; the Asad and Harry reunite, and tell each other that they missed the other.

That’s when viewers picked up on a particularly “longing” stare.

“I definitely got the feeling that Harry Mitchell either had a fling, or at least has feelings, for his ex-girlfriend’s brother,” one wrote. “That look Harry gave him was definitely a “longing” look.”

The same user added, “Get yourself someone who looks at you the way that Harry Mitchell looks at his ex-girlfriend’s brother, Asad.”
