EastEnders fans think they’ve worked out a devastating new storyline, and it spells upset for Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
Recent scenes have seen Phil fall out with his family over his opinions of Stevie Mitchell (Alan Ford), as well as push away other Albert Square residents that care about him.
Billy was left disgusted earlier this week when he discovered that Phil had framed Stevie for stealing Lola’s charity money.
After learning that Will Mitchell (Freddie Phillips) had stolen the money to pay back the school bully who’d been blackmailing him, Phil took care of the situation by confronting the bully and encouraging Will to let Stevie take the blame for the missing money.
When the truth was exposed, a row broke out between Billy and Phil, with Billy washing his hands of Phil.
Elsewhere, Phil left former step-son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) upset when he brushed off his attempts to play football with him.
This of course angered ex-wife Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), and pushed Phil even further into her bad books.
