Phil Mitchell’s Darkest Hour: EastEnders Viewers Concerned Over His Desperate Isolation!
And a new arrival sends shockwaves through the Square
PHIL Mitchel faces an isolated and lonely period, hinting at a darker storyline ahead for the character in the BBC soap.
Next week in EastEnders, Phil is annoyed by Teddy’s low-ball offer for Peggy’s and dismisses him, saying there are other interested parties.
Both Sharon and Kat separately try to talk to Phil, who is becoming increasingly isolated.
But, Phil covers his emotions and refuses to open up to either of them.
Meanwhile, Teddy demands to know why his ex-wife Nicola has turned up.
But she retorts that she got a tip-off about Harry’s arrest and is here to help.
Nicola’s first order of business is to get to the bottom of Penny’s involvement in Harry’s arrest.
Harry is gunning for Penny following his arrest, and shares some home truths with Jack.
Nicola continues to get under Teddy’s skin and takes an immediate dislike to Sharon.
Nicola introduces herself to Honey and manipulates an invite to the lunch she’s arranged with Teddy and Billy.
During lunch, Nicola puts Billy and Honey in the picture about her marriage to Teddy, delighting in making him squirm.
Later, having bagged herself somewhere to stay, Nicola decides to stir things up even more when she overhears Teddy arranging to meet Phil to sign the club sale paperwork by cornering Phil for a chat.
The club sale continues to have an impact on Phil’s mood.
But he closes down Sharon’s attempts to talk to him about it.
Can anyone get through to Phil? Or will he be lonely this Christmas?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
