Phil returns!

The missing Mitchell arrives unannounced at Denny’s wake…

So much has happened in Walford since Phil Mitchell went AWOL on the day of the doomed boat party. Peter has returned from New Zealand, Callum has returned from the brink of death, and poor Sharon, of course, has lost one son and given birth to another.

This week, Shazbang faces her biggest challenge yet as she lays Denny to rest. She’s an emotional wreck as she bids her boy farewell, and things don’t get any easier at the wake. Ben defiantly turns up – disregarding her wishes for a Mitchell-free day – and she tears into Linda for making a mistake with the arrangements.
