Phil drops a colossal bombshell in EastEnders that changes a loved one’s life forever
When Father’s Day arrives in EastEnders next week, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) is prompted to drop some huge news on a relative.
Over Christmas, after Sharon Watts’s (Letitia Dean) boy Albie did a test at the hospital, it was confirmed Phil is actually his dad, not Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).
Due to the shock, the confusing feelings that would arrive for her son, and the fact Sharon’s been busy trying to cover up The Six’s involvement in Keanu’s murder, allowing Phil to spend time with Albie hasn’t really been her priority.
In upcoming episodes of the BBC One soap, Phil feels lonely on Father’s Day without Ben (Max Bowden) and Louise (Tilly Keeper) around, and is further hurt when he watches Denise Fox (Diane Parish) take Raymond to Number 20 for christening prep.
