EastEnders spoilers: Phil returns to the Square

Next week sees a devastated Sharon say a final goodbye to her beloved son, Denny, as the day of his funeral arrives.

But after banning all Mitchells from the service, she is left shocked when Phil arrives at the wake.

Sharon is fuming that Phil has got the audacity to turn up at the funeral. She launches herself at him, leading Ian and Kathy to intervene before things get too ugly.

However, Phil’s clearly not one to take no for an answer because he is soon kicking Ian’s door down to get to Sharon in true Mitchell style.

But before Phil has much of a chance to speak to his estranged wife, Ian has called the police. Phil scarpers before they arrive.

Clearly Phil is a man with something on his mind, because later he nurses a drink at home, and it is left up to Jay to try and stop him from putting his life at risk and drinking it.

As the police arrive once again, Phil is forced to hide. However, it doesn’t take Sharon long to later track him down at the Arches and soon Phil makes a huge decision about his future.
