EastEnders: Stevie got confused

Over in Walford yesterday, Stevie celebrated Father’s Day with Billy and some of the other local Walford residents.

Tensions were high though when Billy took Will’s phone off him, with Will being put in a mood due to this.

Stevie tried to remind the lads that this was valuable time that they would never get back, encouraging them to enjoy the day together.

However, whilst spending some time with Billy, Stevie seemed to get confused and called Billy by a different name.

He actually called Billy ‘Ted’ before brushing it off as something Billy must’ve misheard.
