EastEnders fans have been told that Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) will continue his old ways of duplicity and deception as part of a major new storyline on the soap.
Warning: spoiler alert!
Determined to get baby Lexi back to Albert Square, Phil puts pressure on her mother Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) to sign a consent form which would allow him to care for the infant.
Despite refusing initially, Lola gives in, thinking it is the only option she has.
When Phil's solicitor explains that his case would be stronger if he was in a relationship, he turns to old flame Sharon Rickman (Letitia Dean) for help.
Sharon refuses to become involved in the sham relationship; however Phil refuses to abandon his latest scheme.
The scenes will air on BBC One and RTÉ One next week.
