aphil.jpgCast aside by his own mother Peggy, Phil Mitchell is on the road to ruin after falling off the wagon in the most dramatic of fashions. His only friend in the world Shirley is struggling to cope with Phil’s abusive comments, mood swings and obsessive drinking and it looks as though last night was the last straw for her when she heard Phil mocking her to Tracy.

The storyline is becoming a little more dramatic with Ben left in the middle and unable to cope with his father’s drinking and lack of attention. Phil Mitchell has been quiet for some time although it looks as though we have one of the strongest storylines in Eastenders materialising before our very eyes!

Will Peggy return to save Phil from himself? Will Shirley manage to turn Phil around? Will Heather recover from her asthma attack brought on by Phil’s abuse and threatening behaviour?
