Phil risks his own life to rescue a loved one from danger while struggling with his worsening depression.

In recent months, Phil Mitchell has been feeling increasingly lonely. The Walford resident has been struggling with his mental health, which has caused him to become more isolated and depressed. His marriage to Kat Slater ended last year, and he has also had to deal with his son Ben's incarceration in the US and his sister Sam's sudden departure and deception. On top of all of this, his ex-wife Sharon has moved on with his long-lost cousin Teddy Mitchell. It's safe to say that Phil has been going through a lot.

Despite all of his own personal struggles, Phil still managed to make a generous gesture towards his cousin Billy Mitchell in Tuesday's episode of EastEnders. With Billy and his fiancée Honey Mitchell planning their second wedding, Phil stepped in to help them out when he overheard them discussing their budget woes at The Vic. He enlisted the help of Mo Harris and gave her the keys to his house to collect some cash, which she then passed on to Billy, claiming that it was from Billy's father and her former lover Stevie Mitchell. Little did Billy and Honey know that it was actually Phil who had come to their rescue.

But Phil's mental health issues are set to take center stage as the soap gears up for its 40th anniversary next month. The show will air a live episode, giving viewers the power to vote on the outcome of a storyline. Denise Fox's love triangle with Jack Branning and Ravi Gulati will also come to a head, with fans deciding who she ends up with. And for the first time in the show's history, Ross Kemp will be reprising his role as Grant Mitchell to play a significant part in the anniversary celebrations.

The week will also see the reveal of Cindy Beale's attacker, who left her for dead with a shovel on Christmas Day. And for fans of the iconic Walford matriarch Peggy Mitchell, there is good news as she will make a return in hallucinations as Phil's mental state deteriorates. A special documentary hosted by Ross Kemp will also take a trip down memory lane and explore some of the show's most memorable moments.

As always, EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and can be streamed on iPlayer. And for all the latest updates on your favorite soaps and TV shows, stay tuned to our homepage and leave a comment to join the community.
