In yesterday's episode of EastEnders, Nicola Mitchell made a shocking discovery about Phil Mitchell's current state. It's no secret that the beloved character has been struggling with a sense of loneliness for some time now. Over the years, he has faced numerous losses in his family, including the passing of his mother Peggy. And recently, things have only gotten worse with his son Ben going to prison, his daughter Louise moving away, and his relationship with Kat Slater coming to an end.
This ongoing storyline was brought to the forefront once again in tonight's episode. When Nicola paid Phil a visit to give him a picture of Peggy, she was taken aback by the state of his kitchen. It was a complete mess, with empty takeaway boxes scattered everywhere and a pile of dirty dishes waiting to be washed. It seemed as though Phil was living in his own home like a squatter.
Feeling concerned, Nicola couldn't just ignore what she saw and tried to talk to Phil about it. However, he only became angry and tried to push her away by shouting at her. But Nicola wasn't going to back down that easily. When she returned to Peggy's house, she decided to tell Sharon Watts about her discovery.
Sharon, who used to be married to Phil, immediately grew worried and asked Nicola if she noticed any alcohol in Phil's house. Thankfully, Nicola said no. But Sharon couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off and decided to go see Phil for herself.
As soon as she arrived, Sharon was heartbroken to see that Phil had taken down all the framed photos of his family. When she asked him why, he simply replied that he didn't need a reminder of who he had lost. Phil then became emotional and tried to open up to Sharon, but their conversation kept getting interrupted by her phone buzzing with texts. In the end, Phil took this as a sign to just pretend that everything was fine.
Meanwhile, Nicola and Teddy, who works at Peggy's, were having a moment in the office. But when Sharon returned, Teddy quickly left with his new love interest, leaving Nicola feeling jealous. This sparked an idea in her mind - maybe she could be the one to help Phil?
So, Nicola grabbed a bottle of whisky and headed back to Phil's house. There, she talked about how everyone needs someone in their life and how she believes Sharon could be that person for Phil. Taking advantage of his vulnerable state, Nicola then presented him with the bottle of alcohol. She pretended to have no idea about his struggles with addiction and suggested that he could use it for company. And then she left, leaving the bottle on the table.
As the episode came to a close, the question remained - will Phil relapse and give in to the temptation of opening the bottle? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, Nicola's plan to bring Sharon and Phil closer together is slowly taking shape. And with the drama and twists that always come with soap operas, it's only a matter of time before everything comes to light. Want to stay updated on all the latest soap spoilers and gossip?
