In new scenes set to air next week, Phil confronts Will at the hospital about what happened to Stevie, as the youngster reveals all about his involvement, including the blackmail.

Later on, Callum and Jay are invited over to Phil's to watch the football, and all seems well until Kyle's father Kevin turns up, and accuses Phil of terrorising his child.

How will Phil respond?

The new scenes coincide with Stevie's secret family Teddy, Harry and Barney Mitchell arriving in Albert Square, as Billy learns that Teddy is his brother.

Teddy actor Roland Manookian recently teased trouble brewing for his "enigmatic" character as he arrives in Walford, notably a scene where they meet the Mitchells in The Vic.

“Phil has a more aggressive approach and a physical presence, whereas Teddy is as fierce and as dangerous as someone like Phil, but his strategies are just a little bit more diplomatic because he’s trying to get the best outcome for himself," he said.

“I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Teddy is going to cause loads of trouble which I’m very much looking forward to. Plenty of mischief!”

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
