EastEnders throws Phil Mitchell into a storm next week. His closest friend, Nigel Bates, suddenly disappears, and panic takes over. Emotions are high. Keep scrolling to know more.
A Heartbreaking Return And A Shocking Disappearance
Actor Karen Henthorn is back on our screens as Julie Bates. And her return brought heartbreak. The character found out the real reason her marriage ended; it wasn’t anger or betrayal. Nigel left her because he didn’t want his illness to drag her down. He was scared she’d get trapped in his decline. So he walked away without a word. When Julie came right before him again, it shattered her. He could not even recognise her.
The moment was raw, and it left Phil broken. Julie promised she would take him back home. She said Scotland would be better, more peaceful. He could rest, and she would take care of everything. They left Walford. It looked like the end of their story. But it wasn’t. Next week, things take a darker turn. Nigel disappears, and the storm hasn’t even started yet.
