Ever since young Ben's encounter with a bottle of vodka, Phil's been desperate to get his boy back on track, and finally swears of the demon drink to prove himself as a dad. The pair begin to bond again after a trip to the playground, but phil flounders after finding the frillies later in the week. Is Ben lusting after Roxy? Has the youngster developed a penchant for dressing up? Or could Ben buddy Jay have something to do with the knicker nicking?

lol ah. it sounds like Jay has something 2 do with it, if they are saying it like that.
But its very normal for a kid to have a crush on an older woman. Phil should be sympathetic.

Drowing in debt!
The future looks bleak for the Mitchell family when Peggy admits to money troubles...
She's always been the hostess with the mostest, but pub landlady Peggy Mitchell's generosity catches up with her this week, as she's forced to confess to her family that she's up to her neck in debt - £40,000 worth, to be precise!
The news comes as a massive surprise to Peggy nieces, Roxy and Ronnie - and they're not the only ones.
"It was a shock to me, it really was," sighs Barbara Windor, who plays cash-strapped Peggy. "I couldn't believe it when i read the script, but i thought about it... Peggy spent alot of money doing up the the vic, and it's money she didn't really have. Then there's was Phil Wedding, which she insisted on paying for. She's so very generous, you see - she lends people money and gives it away all the time".
It's Peggy desire to help Roxy and Ronnie with the business adventure which leads to her confession that she's in the red. When Ronnie finds out that the local nightclub Scarlet is up for sale, she thinks it could be the perfect opportunity for the Mitchell sisters to make their mark in Albert Square - as Rita Simons, who plays Roxy explains.
"Ever since their arrived in town, the girls have been waiting for something big to get their teeth into", she smiles. "They know how to run a club, because they used to own one in ibiza. They'd love to set up a stylish and funky venue in Walford".
The sisters excitely stary making plans, but the dream comes a cropper when they realise someone is outbidding them for the club, so they need to raise more funds.
"They decide to ask Peggy", reveals Rita. "She's the obvious choice because she's family, and they're keen to build up the Mitchell empire".
At first, desperate to hide the truth, Peggy agrees to help find the extra cash.
"She lies to Roxy and Ronnie", Barbara admits. "I guess she thinks everything will be alright. She feels she can't be honest with the girls because they're new in her life".
And, of course, while alcholic Phil's still struggling with his own problems, Peggy isn't able to confide in her own son, either "with phil back on the bottle, Peggy knows she can't say anything - not while he's wallowing in booze", shares Barbara. "Plus Peggy's a proud women. She thinks she can sort out her troubles all by her self. Sadly, she can't".
The fact that Peggy's out of her depth becomes painfully obvious when debt collectors hammer on the doors of the vic.
"The first time they arrive, Peggy pretends she the cleaner", reveals Barbara. "But knowing it's only a matter of time before they'll back, she reveals all her troubles to Roxy and Ronnie. While Ronnie's understanding, Roxy isn't happy at her plans scruppered -
she really thought they'd get the money to buy Scarlet. Despite her disapppointment, through, she soon feels bad for Peggy".
In fact it's Roxy who save the day when the baliliffs return to take some possessions.
"Roxy comes into the vic and finds them there - she goes of her head! laughs Rita.
"She isn't at all worried about her safety -
I reckon she thinks she can take them on!
Indeed, faced with the full force of Roxy's sharp tongue, the men scarper empty-handed. But how long will it be before they're back?
Barbara admits that her much loved alter ego isn't out of the woods yet - and, in fact, Peggy may soon have to face up to her biggest fear.....
"She's not scared of the bailiffs, however menacing they are", claims the 70 year old actress. "And she's not scared of getting a right hander. But she scared of Phil finding out - and is terrified that she'll lose the pub,"
So, we'll have to wait and see whether Peggy can turn her fortune around - or if her worst nightmare will come true....

Will Jane Die?
Jane beale's life hangs by a thread this week- after she's accidentally shot by her husband Ian's unhinged captor, Steven!
"Jane's in total agony, not to mention terrified", shares laurie brett, who plays her. "The scene's total chaos, with ian and his daughter lucy, in a state of shock. They're panicking as Jane lays there on the floor of the derelict flat, drifting in and out of consciousness and aware that she might die".
While ian's desparate to call for an ambulance, Lucy seems to be less concerned about the consequences of her stepmother's gunshot wound that she is about her half-brother steven, getting the blame for the shooting.
"Bizarrly, Jane's worried about Steven, too - she know's there's something not quite right about him, and he thinks he could have had a breakdown", explains laurie.
"Even as she's lying there, she says to ian, 'You've got a mate who knows about private clinics. Steven's not well - it must be some kind of mental illness'.
"I ve seen people in shock before, and i know the unusual things", the actresses continues. "I think Jane is trying to keep some of normality in the situation to take her mind off the fact she could be bleeding to death".
After paramedics take Jane into their care, a distressed ian refuses to leave her side. And just before his wife is wheeled into theatre for the operation that will determine whether she lives or dies, the couple have an emotional heart-to heart...
"Ian says what anybody in that situation would," Laurie reveals. "He basically tells her that if she just pull through, he'll give her anything she wants. Then he suddenly says that they can try for a child when she gets better.
At first, Jane doesn't register what ian's said", she adds. "Then she asks, 'Our own baby?, and there are a few tears from both of them as she's taken into surgery".
Ian's forced to face an agonising wait for news as his wife ungoes a delicate procedure. And while Laurie not' giving away anything about the eventual fate of her character, she admits that this storyline has finally made her feel like a fully fledged member of the Eastenders cast.
