    Don't you just love disoloutional soap stars. Yeah lets raise the dead that will work. How about bringing back Reg Cox's. He could wake up in his flat and say I've just had a strange dream thinking I was murdered 25 years ago by Nick Cotton. Kathy is forgetting one thing about her marriage to Phil. He loved Sharon more than he loved her.

    Phil Mitchell's a remarkable guy, isn't he?

    Not long ago he was snivelling wreck in the throes of an addiction to crack cocaine that saw him rummage around in bins, burn down a pub and drive his mum out of town.

    Now he's, well, back to his old lovable self.

    Some viewers may have found his apparently miraculous recovery hard to swallow, but EastEnders boss Bryan Kirkwood has defended it - and hinted there could be more to come.

    He told the Radio Times: "Crack is a binge drug and advice we received from Dugscope suggest that drug users like Phil can have these binges and then abandon crack again.

    "Phil has an iron will and now we've seen him throwing his mania and appetites into other things - his mentoring of Jay and his affair with Glenda. That's not to say he won't relapse. Who's to say what might happen in the future?"

    Something cheery to look forward to then...

    EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has refused to rule out the possibility of a drugs relapse for Phil Mitchell.

    Earlier this year, viewers saw Phil hit rock bottom and become reliant on crack cocaine after his son Ben was sent to juvenile detention and his daughter Louise disappeared with mum Lisa.

    However, since starting September's dramatic Queen Vic fire, Phil has managed to remain clean and he is now focusing his attentions on encouraging Jay Brown's growing interest in boxing.

    Speaking to Radio Times about whether the character's quick recovery was realistic enough, Kirkwood explained: "Crack is a binge drug and advice we received from Drugscope suggests that drug users like Phil can have these binges and then abandon crack again.

    "Phil has an iron will and now we've seen him throwing his mania and appetites into other things - his mentoring of Jay and his affair with Glenda. That's not to say he won't relapse. Who's to say what might happen in the future?"

    Kirkwood has previously said that he would like to see Phil "take on the world and win" in future plots.

    I for one am glad that Phil's getting back on his feet. I like seeing him back to his old self. It was horrible seeing him on the drugs, he was a complete mess. I love Phil Mitchell as a character because he's a strong business man whose into a few dodgy deals. There's nobody else on the Square that fits that role at the moment.

    EastEnders star Steve McFadden has predicted that his character Phil Mitchell could return to his self-destructive ways in the coming weeks.

    Phil's son Ben (Joshua Pascoe) has been tipped to come out as gay in a forthcoming episode after recently growing close to his boxing mentor Duncan (Steven France). Events take a new twist next week when Ben tells Phil that he panicked after Patrick saw him kissing 'someone', hinting at his secret.

    McFadden told All About Soap of Phil's reaction: "[The penny] half drops, but he doesn't want to hear it. He says they're going to forget the conversation - it's classic denial, of course.

    "Deep down, Phil is aware of what he's being told but he doesn't accept it. Therefore it isn't true in his eyes."

    McFadden added that, rather than lashing out at Ben, Phil is more likely to punish himself as he struggles to come to terms with his son's sexuality.

    "I think it's more likely to send him into self-destructive mode than for him to hit out," the actor said. "Phil hiding from it all in the bottle or by using drugs is definitely an option.

    "It's his way of running away, like he did before when he couldn't cope with Peggy. He could end up on the drugs again."

    EastEnders continues tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.

    EastEnders hardman Phil Mitchell will be left fighting for his life this autumn as the soap airs one of its biggest ever stunts, Digital Spy can confirm.

    Phil (Steve McFadden) will be left in a bad state after a dodgy deal with newcomer Carl White leads to a huge car crash.

    The storyline begins when Phil becomes desperate to get his hands on some cash.

    When Carl (Daniel Coonan) offers a potential solution, Phil has no choice but to agree. However, schemer Carl has ulterior motives and only agrees to tell Phil all the specific details of the planned deal when they are on their way.

    It's clear that Phil has been wrong-footed by Albert Square's newest bad boy, but Carl soon poses another problem when he starts driving recklessly.

    Carl's dangerous actions result in a massive car accident which leaves both men unconscious. In dramatic scenes, it's Phil who comes out worse as his life hangs in the balance.

    While exact details of the major stunt sequence are being kept under wraps, insiders suggest that it will feature a helicopter and a flipped car.

    The shock accident kicks off a huge autumn season for EastEnders, which will see the Mitchell family back at the forefront of the show.

    An EastEnders source told Digital Spy: "The crash is going to change things for many residents in Albert Square. There will be serious repercussions and with the twists and turns we have planned for the aftermath, everything might not be as it seems."

    EastEnders' executive producer Lorraine Newman added: "A suitably explosive start to a jam-packed autumn and winter full of love, romance and reprisals. Treats for audiences old and new. And one literal vanishing act... It's time to take your seats!"

    This storyline will also lead to Barbara Windsor's return as Peggy Mitchell for a special episode. However, what state Peggy will find Phil in when she arrives remains to be seen.

    Eastenders actors Steve MacFadden and Daniel Coonan are set for a thrilling drive on the BBC soap.
    The actors, who play longterm bad boy Phil Mitchell and newcomer Carl White, were seen filming a car chase in a red motor at the soap’s North London studios on Saturday.
    The high-speed chase is set to end in Steve’s character Phil Mitchell hurtling through a windscreen and fighting for his life in a coma.

    Boy racers: Phil (Steve McFadden) and Carl (Daniel Coonan) are involved in a car chase which will leave Phil in a coma
    Phil and new character Carl White crash into a lorry on their way to undertake a dodgy deal.
    The dramatic scenes, which reportedly cost the BBC £1 million, are part of the Beeb’s efforts to reverse this year’s major ratings slump.

    A source for the soap said: ‘This is going to be the most dramatic and the most expensive stunt in EastEnders' history.’

    Dodgy dealings: Phil, played by Steve MacFadden is to get into trouble yet again
    ‘No expense has been spared and show bosses are determined to make sure it is the most talked about TV moment of the year.’
    The source explained that the crash will happen when ‘Carl gets distracted from the road and swerves into the path of a lorry, resulting in a huge smash.’
    ‘Phil flies through the windscreen on to the road, leaving him with terrible injuries’

    Burning rubber: The pair are set to crash the car on their way to a dodgy deal, putting Phil Mitchell in hospital
    The dramatic episode is expected to include a bird’s eye view of the aftermath of the accident taken from the helicopter which is used to fly Phil to hospital.
    It is also set to see one of the show’s most iconic characters, Peggy Mitchell, played by Barbara Windsor who left the show in 2010, return to the soap to visit Phil in hospital.
    The source added: 'EastEnders has been going through a bad time as far as ratings go. These days it's regularly the third most watched soap, way off Corrie and even behind Emmerdale.’

    High-speed: The thrilling car chase will be filmed from a birds eye view and on the ground
    In May this year, the show had just 5.2 million viewers— 2.3million fewer than Emmerdale attracted on the same night.
    The show attracted a peak of 30 million viewers in the 80s, when Dirty Den (Leslie Grantham) gave Angie (Anita Dobson) divorce papers on Christmas Day.
    Phil’s car crash is expected to be shown this autumn.
