EastEnders airs dangerous twist for Phil Mitchell in early iPlayer release

Nicola has targeted a lonely Phil to help her break up their exes, Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) and Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), respectively.

Then Nicola walked into Phil’s house in a terrible statehe angrily ordered her to leave and keep her mouth shut. Nicola promised she would, but quickly told Sharon everything.

Sharon asked if there was any alcohol lying around at Phil’s and made the mistake of telling Nicola he was an addict in recovery.

Nicola could hardly believe her luck when Sharon also revealed that she and Phil had shared a kiss before Teddy arrived on the square.

Nicola urged Sharon to go and support Phil, but once she was alone she grinned to herself, happy that her plan worked.

It didn’t take long for Nicola to tell Teddy all about the kiss, before she started talking sweetly to him, hoping he was now hers for the taking.

At Phil’s, Sharon questioned him about Nicola’s story, and since Phil had since cleaned up, he claimed Nicola was a liar.

Knowing something was wrong, Sharon demanded answers from Phil, and his inner turmoil gradually began to show on his face, in a devastating performance by McFadden.

Sharon promised she would always be there for Phil, and he almost opened up to her – until a message on her phone from Teddy disrupted the mood and Phil insisted he was fine.

On the way back to the bar, Sharon walked in just as Nicola was kissing a responsive Teddy, but he managed to get away just before Sharon looked the pair in the eyes.

Later, Nicola returned to see Phil, presented him with a gift and hinted that he needed Sharon.

But will alcoholic Phil succumb to temptation when Nicola puts a bottle of booze on the table?
