The blues have settled in EastEnders for an extended stay. The residents of Walford already had enough on their plates to deal with. Another tragedy has reached the Square only to make matters worse. The latest update confirms that Aunt Sal (Anna Karen) will meet a tragic demise next month. The death leaves the Mitchells devastated.
Moreover, Phil is struck the most by the passing away of his beloved aunt. Will the loss also prompt Phil to make a move on his recent dramatic discovery? Keep on reading as we anticipate the aftermath of this misfortune.
Phil Grapples with Sharon’s Revelation
Peggy Mitchell’s sharp-tongued sister on EastEnders, AKA Sal Martin, will die on the BBC One soap next month. Played by actress Anna Karen, her character made a debut in 1996. Aunt Sal would feature in over 50 episodes of the London-based soap. She made her last appearance in 2017, aligning with the tragic deaths of Ronnie and Roxy. Sal was known for wielding a strong influence. She never hesitated to deliver her loved ones a reality check with her razor-sharp wit. The lady also loved to smoke.
The Mitchells receive the news of her passing shortly after the New Year. As a family-first person, Phil Mitchell ( Steve McFadden) takes the news to his heart. The grief makes him think about Albie, considering he recently got to know about Albie being his biological son. Subsequently, he decides to storm into Sharon’s home, asking for access to Albie. However, Zack Hudson (James Farrar) halts him in his tracks. Will Phil keep his cool and give a second thought on the matter?
Mitchell Siblings to Reach a Common Ground On EastEnders?
Phil is uneasy and desperate with Sharon’s earth-shattering revelation about Albie. The hope of seeing Albie and getting to know him better is all that Phil can think about. Meanwhile, Phil’s sister Sam (Kim Medcalf) wants to intervene. Meddling with Zack, Sam insists that his brother will take legal action against Sharon if she doesn’t grant him visitation rights.
Phil turns red upon hearing the harsh approach and doesn’t hold back to thrash Sam verbally on EastEnders. On the contrary, the new on-site filming pictures depict the siblings together for Aunt Sal’s funeral. It suggests that the Mitchell siblings will see eye to eye with each other about the new plan.
Additionally, the funeral will mark the debut of legendary actor Alan Ford. He will portray the role of Stevie Mitchell, Billy’s (Perry Fenwick) distant dad. Billy spent his early years in care since he was ten, as Stevie gained his brother’s custody. They last saw each other off-screen twenty-five years ago.
How will Billy respond when the two finally cross paths after so long? Will Phil get in sync with Sam’s approach?
