EastEnders has revealed the aftermath of Denise Fox discovering Vincent Hubbard may be dead.

Three new photos show Denise reeling from Phil Mitchell's revelation in Monday's episode that Vincent was murdered for crossing Walford crime boss Aidan Maguire.

Richard Blackwood's character made his final appearance in the soap back in 2018, when Vincent was shown being lured into a trap set by Aidan and crooked copper DCI Alsworth.

Questions have lingered over whether Vincent might still be alive since he wasn't killed on-screen, but sadly his fate was seemingly sealed in Monday's (October 11) episode.

Kim Fox renewed her investigation into Vincent's whereabouts when she happened to overhear Mitch Baker booking a cab for a 'Vince Hubbard'.

Even though Aidan's inadvertent decoy Phil Mitchell warned Kim not to pursue anything, Kim pushed ahead to find this 'Vince' working as a children's entertainer.

Kim got an alarming clue once she realised 'Vince' was using her husband's wallet, but the children's entertainer rushed out of Walford East before she could get any answers.

She would then relay the shocking story to Mitch and Phil, making the latter decide to do something to stop her investigation before she found out anything else.

Phil went to Denise to warn her that Kim should stop asking questions because they would only bring out Aidan Maguire once again.

Denise was left stunned when Phil admitted that Aidan Maguire's men murdered Vincent years ago — and unless Kim gives up now, there will be hell to pay for them all.

It remains unclear how Phil exactly knows Vincent is dead, since he'd only ever asked Aidan to scare Vincent and not outright kill him.

Is Phil telling the truth?

These scenes will air Tuesday, October 12 at 7.30pm on BBC One.

EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
