EastEnders' Phil Mitchell makes exit plan in Vincent death story

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders hardman Phil Mitchell is going to make plans to leave Albert Square soon, unless he can be stopped.

The soap is currently revisiting the three-year-long mystery surrounding Vincent Hubbard's disappearance back in 2018, as Kim Fox has discovered that a man named Howie has been using Vincent's identity.

Kim has been determined to find out the truth behind her husband's death, with Howie offering to help her out. That's not good news for Phil, who would be implicated and probably sent 'daaahn' for it.

He's been trying to get Denise to make Kim back off by using the salon as ransom, but he's soon going to take it up a notch: by threatening to take their child Raymond to Spain if Denise can't stop Kim going to the police with Howie.

Unfortunately for Denise, she won't be able to convince Kim to give up. But Jack Branning steps in and says that he's going to sort the whole situation out.

But with Phil telling Kat Slater that he's leaving with Raymond, and Jack unable to find Kim, will Phil actually leave the Square?

Speaking about whether Kim suspects Phil, actress Tameka Empson said: "She doesn't suspect that he is involved but she does query only for a short time because Vincent and Phil didn't see eye to eye.

"If you remember Phil delivered Kim and Vincent's baby, and there has always been a cool relationship between Kim and Phil, so when Kim does say his name and he is blasé about it, there is a bit of a moment but she is not thinking that Phil is anyway involved."

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