William "Will" Mitchell is the son of Billy and Honey Mitchell, played by Freddie Phillips. On 20 March 2007, Honey found out that she was pregnant again and told Pat Evans, but asked her not to tell Billy. Pat persuaded Honey to tell Billy. He was distant initially but came round, following a heart to heart and he admitted to being concerned, like her, that they would love the new baby more than Janet if it didn't have down syndrome. Honey reassured him would never happen.
