⚠️ Heed this notice: Details revealed here may spoil your viewing experience of the EastEnders episode scheduled for broadcast on Monday, 3rd February 2025 on both BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Let me warn you, this article delves into thoughts about suicide and self-harm which could potentially cause discomfort or distress for certain readers.
EastEnders has aired tragic and dangerous scenes for Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
The BBC One soap is airing a moving mental health crisis for the iconic Walford hardman.
It turns out that Phil has been cohabiting with his long-time pal, Nigel Bates, who unfortunately has been diagnosed with early-stage dementia. However, Phil was not previously aware of this condition in Nigel.
On Monday, a downcast Phil unwittingly became part of Nigel’s scheme to take community center acquaintance Norma (Angela Curran) on a date, as she arrived accompanied by her friend Livi (Lisa Allen).
The four took their seats at the Queen Vic, as Yolande (Angela Wynter) and Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) looked on with amusement.
In the course of their conversation, Nigel shared memories of his past with the Mitchells, while Livi mentioned that after her father’s passing, she now manages a car dealership.
As Norma and Nigel stepped out for some beverages, Livi observed Phil’s profound sorrow, a feeling she recognized all too well. However, when the conversation turned to depression, Phil shattered his glass and hurriedly departed from the tavern.
Instead of chasing after Phil, Nigel changed his plan due to Yolande’s encouragement, opting for a dinner with Norma instead.
Outside the Queen Vic, Phil encountered Amelia, a neighbor of Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) and a sex worker, who offered her services and business card to him before she continued on her path.
Moving towards The Arches, Phil dismissed employee Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), leaving only himself behind after securing the premises.
In a moment of deep despair, Phil chose to sit inside a vehicle, start the engine, and direct the fumes towards himself, with the intention of taking his own life through suffocation.
Later on, Phil reversed his decision and, while hacking a cough, endeavored to escape from the vehicle near the Arches. Unfortunately, he slipped and fell into the hollow space in the floor, disappearing from sight down the hole. His whereabouts after that were unknown.
Will Phil be OK?
Tomorrow, in the open air, Harry is expected to encounter Phil. Shortly thereafter, they’ll hurry off to the hospital, with Nigel witnessing Harry being put into an ambulance.
Viewers can anticipate that Phil will make it through this ordeal, given that his mental health struggles are expected to intensify as he encounters psychosis and recurring visions of his past – with guest appearances by the ensemble cast from the 2022 Mitchell episode reprising their roles in flashbacks.
In the upcoming weeks, Ross Kemp’s character, Grant Mitchell, is set to return. Will he lend a hand to his brother Phil this time around?
