A traumatic week for Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) lies ahead in EastEnders, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, as his estranged brother Grant (Ross Kemp) returns to Albert Square.

The Walford stalwart begins to suffer troubling hallucinations and flashbacks to his youth.

As his depression deepens, he starts to converse with mum Peggy (Jaime Winstone) and a younger version of himself (Daniel Delaney).

Can Grant save his brother?

Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) continues to examine sister Bianca Jackson’s (Patsy Palmer) confession video, much to killer fiancé Reiss Colwell’s (Jonny Freeman) annoyance.

He sneaks off to his lock up – and makes a damning discovery…

Back at home, Sonia’s made her own unsettling realisation, forcing a returning Reiss to block her exit.

Will he claim another victim?

Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) is up to no good when he enlists Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) to help him, infuriating ex-partner Cindy (Michelle Collins) when she spots them enjoying a drink in the pub.

What is their gameplan?

Plus, tensions continue to rise between Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and daughter Chelsea (Zaraah Abrahams) in the wake of the huge reveal that she is seeing her ex-boyfriend Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara).
