Louise Mitchell, the daughter of Phil Mitchell and Lisa Fowler was, quite literally, born into drama! Born into the chaotic Mitchell family, Louise’s life was destined to be filled with more twists and turns than a Christmas special. From paternity secrets to fiery feuds, Louise’s journey has been anything but dull. 

Growing up in Walford, Louise had her fair share of family upset. Her early years were marked by the tumultuous relationship between her parents, with Lisa often clashing with Phil over custody and parenting. Louise’s bond with her half-brother Ben Mitchell was also fraught with tension, especially when Ben’s darker side emerged. But through it all, Louise remained resilient, showing that she had inherited the Mitchell family’s fighting spirit. 

As a teenager, Louise’s life took a dramatic turn when she became the target of bullying at school. The torment she faced from Alexandra and Madison was intense, culminating in a horrific incident at the school prom where Louise suffered severe burns. This traumatic experience brought her closer to her mother, Lisa, who returned to Walford to support her daughter. 

Louise’s love life was just as eventful as the rest of her life. She had a series of relationships, each more complicated than the last. From her romance with Keegan Baker to her tumultuous engagement to his brother Keanu Taylor, Louise’s love stories were filled with passion and heartbreak. The revelation that Keanu was also involved with her stepmother Sharon was a bombshell that rocked the Square and led to one of the most explosive Christmases in EastEnders history. 

In 2020, Louise decided to leave Walford behind and start anew in Portugal with her mother and daughter, Peggy. Her departure marked the end of an era for the Mitchell family, but knowing Louise, it’s only a matter of time before she makes another dramatic return…
