It has been revealed that Nigel has made a return to Albert Square in EastEnders, and the news has caused quite a stir. For those of you who haven't watched the latest episode on BBC One, be warned, there are spoilers ahead. However, if you have access to BBC iPlayer, you can catch up on all the drama.
Nigel's arrival was met with surprise from Phil Mitchell, who couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his old friend back in Walford over Christmas. The two used to be close back in the day, along with Grant, but things seemed to have changed for Nigel. He was thought to be homeless, which raised some questions about why he had returned.
It seems that Nigel isn't being entirely truthful about the circumstances that led him back to Walford. He claims that his wife Julie kicked him out, but she has been sending him worried text messages, begging him to come home. Something just doesn't add up.
At the start of the week, Nigel started his new job at the café, and he quickly became the center of attention. He spent most of his time chatting with Billy and Jay, reminiscing about his life in Albert Square. But their conversation was soon interrupted by Phil, who had a surprising offer for Nigel.
Phil handed Nigel his house keys and explained that he needed to go out for a while. He wanted to sell his shares of The Boxing Den to Nigel, which left the trio in shock. Nigel tried to refuse, but Phil was insistent, giving him no choice but to accept.
As the week went on, concern grew for Nigel when he gave Junior the wrong change at the café. It was clear that something wasn't right, and Yolande, who was working there, could sense it too. She knew that something was wrong with Nigel, and she was determined to find out what it was.
Meanwhile, Sharon discovered Phil's plan to sell his shares to Nigel and decided to stage an intervention. She gathered Billy, Teddy, and Jay to talk about Phil's recent behavior, and they all agreed that something was off. They decided to confront Phil at his house, but they didn't realize that Nigel had slipped away.
In a panic, Nigel made his way through the Square and ended up at the laundrette, where Yolande found him. She sat him down and encouraged him to open up about what was going on. Nigel confessed that he has dementia and that he had returned to Albert Square to see some familiar faces, but now he regrets it.
He asked Yolande to keep his condition a secret, but the question remains, how will Phil react when he finds out? Don't miss the next episode of EastEnders to see how this dramatic storyline unfolds.
