Monday

Phil Mitchell is stunned when the penny drops about who killed Keanu Taylor

Phil Mitchell is feeling abandoned on Father's Day as he's not spending time with any of his kids!

Daughter Louise Mitchell is in Portugal with Phil's granddaughter Peggy and his son Ben Mitchell is banged up in prison for fraud in the States.

Any hope Phil had of spending time with his young son Raymond is dashed when his mum Denise Fox announces she's taking Raymond to the Fox household to do christening prep for her grandson Jordan.

When Phil finds out that son-in-law Callum Highway has a planned video call with Ben from prison, he's hurt that he wasn't invited to join in.

Having no shortage of kids scattered around the Square, Phil heads over to see Sharon Watts to ask if he can spend some time with their little boy, Albie.

The young tot doesn't yet know that Phil's his biological dad, as Sharon thought that Keanu Taylor was Albie's real father until a DNA test proved otherwise.

Feeling awkward about Phil's request, Sharon shares her worries but Phil talks her into it and Sharon later feels touched when she can see father and son bonding over a kickabout.

Wanting to do right by Phil, Sharon talks Callum into letting Phil join in on Ben's video call.

She soon regrets approaching copper Callum, however, when he asks awkward questions about Keanu and his supposed killer Dean Wicks, who was wrongly fitted up for the murder.

When Phil later pops over to speak to Sharon, he's suspicious after spotting an incriminating text from Linda Carter on Sharon's phone.

Realising that Sharon hasn't been telling the truth about who really killed Keanu, he demands she spill the beans.

Meanwhile, Callum has also clocked that something isn't quite right with the Dean killer story, especially when alcoholic Linda makes an unwise comment. After arriving at Phil's house for the prison call from Ben, a troubled Callum shares some details about his earlier conversation with Sharon.

Phil knows that Sharon is lying to him and he's determined to get her to 'fess up...

Also, Howie Danes tries to bond with son Denzel Danes on a dads-and-sons day out for Father's Day.


TUESDAY BBC2

Stevie Mitchell plots to find a way to help a troubled Will Mitchell

Stevie Mitchell has been doing his best to bring the family together ever since his surprise arrival in Walford.

It's been a long road trying to convince son Billy Mitchell not to send him packing, as Billy suffered badly at the hands of a neglectful Stevie when he was bringing him up.

Billy's children Will Mitchell and Janet Mitchell are keen to have a relationship with granddad Stevie, who's been on his best behaviour in a bid to win over Billy, as well as his nephew Phil Mitchell.

Billy is left concerned after the dads-and-sons Father's Day fishing trip the previous day when Stevie seemed to be having memory problems, as he called Billy by the wrong name...

When Billy is forced to confiscate Will's phone, much to his son's distress, Stevie tries to calm things down.

Later, he finds Will rifling through mum Honey Mitchell's bag and demands to know what he's up to.

Spotting a text on Will's phone, Stevie asks him straight if he owes money to anyone. Will is forced to admit that he's being blackmailed and Stevie turns to Mo Harris for help.

Yolande Trueman vows that she's not going to let her attacker Pastor Clayton get the better of her, even though it seems the pastor won't be brought to justice for his horrific assault.

When her husband Patrick Trueman suggests that maybe she should back out of going to Chelsea Fox's son Jordan's baptism, she insists she won't be put off despite the pastor's involvement.

When Yolande finds out that Patrick has tried to do some meddling to help her out, she's fuming and tells him not to interfere.

A few wise words from friend Elaine Peacock harden Yolande's resolve but when she bumps into Pastor Clayton and his wife outside the community centre, she's left rattled...



WEDNESDAY. BBC2
Callum Highway is in the firing line when he gets too close to the truth about Keanu Taylor's killer

Callum Highway has been uneasy about the investigation into Keanu Taylor's murder and senses that Dean Wicks' arrest for the killing is off somehow.

Rapist Dean was fitted up for the murder by real killer Linda Carter and her co-conspirators after Stacey Slater planted the murder weapon in Dean's flat.

When Sharon Watts bumps into the copper in the cafe she's alarmed as Callum shares that he's been doing his own digging into the case and is talking to the detectives who were assigned to it.

A freaked-out Sharon meets up with Linda Carter, Johnny Carter and Jack Branning and spills that Callum could be about to destroy everything they've done to protect themselves unless he's stopped...

Fellow cop Jack insists that he'll speak to Callum, suggesting that he needs to avoid interfering in the investigation as it goes against protocol.

Although Callum seems to take Jack's words on board, lawyer Johnny is worried that it's not enough to stop Callum.

With his mum's freedom on the line, how far will Johnny go to shut Callum up?

Yolande Trueman is determined to put on a brave face to help Chelsea Fox celebrate her son Jordan's baptism. The ceremony was originally Yolande's idea, thinking it would bring the family closer together with a big celebration, but she was horrified when Pastor Clayton got involved.

During the charity auction to raise money for the food truck, Yolande was sexually assaulted by the pastor, who trapped her alone in the community centre kitchen.

Not wanting to go to the police, Yolande instead told church leader Levi in the hope that the pastor would be removed but nothing came of it.

At the church, an angst-ridden Yolande prays for strength. When Yolande sees Bernie Taylor, who is struggling in the wake of her brother's murder, they chat about being brave and Yolande feels inspired by Bernie's attitude.

Steeling herself, Yolande decides to go ahead with the baptism but will the pastor's sinister presence prove too much for her to bear?

Stevie Mitchell is determined to help his grandson Will Mitchell, who has confessed that he's being blackmailed and needs some cash fast.

Agreeing to keep the news from Will's dad Billy, Stevie asks Mo Harris to help him out with some of her dodgy contacts.

The pair set up a stall at the market selling stolen goods but when Phil Mitchell spots them he gives market inspector Honey Mitchell a tip-off.

Honey and husband Billy are fuming with Stevie and Mo for running an unlicensed stall. Will Stevie be forced to tell Billy about Will's problems?

Also, Harvey Monroe is chuffed to meet up with new mate Maya Hussain for lunch but when Maya finds out about Harvey's criminal son Aaron Monroe, things take a turn...


THURSDAY BBC 2

Maya Houssain looks into Harvey Monroe's past

Maya Houssain has spent quite a bit of time around Albert Square after literally bumping into Harvey Monroe. When she arrived to do some shopping in the market, she walked into Harvey with her bags.

Turns out Maya needed to take a taxi back home and she was delighted when Harvey revealed he was a cabbie. What a coincidence! And in another suspicious coincidence, Harvey found out that Maya was a massive Spurs fan, just like him.

A lonely Harvey was pleased when Maya agreed to meet up with him for more football chats. Rather than be jealous, his partner Jean Slater encouraged him to make a new friend, knowing he's been at a loose end ever since his mates Rocky Cotton and Mitch Baker left the Square.

After meeting for lunch, Maya encouraged Harvey to talk about his family, and he confessed that his son Aaron Monroe was in prison. Aaron was banged up after getting involved in a racist right-wing gang when their plot to bomb a mosque was uncovered.

Maya was visibly rattled after Harvey's confession and he worries that he's lost her as a friend when she won't respond to his text. Meanwhile, Maya researches Aaron online and looks up his criminal history...

Could she somehow have some connection to Aaron's crimes?

Phil Mitchell was stunned when he discovered at Christmas that his ex-wife Sharon Watts' boy Albie was his biological son!

Sharon got pregnant while she was having an affair with Keanu Taylor and insisted that Keanu was Albie's dad. After Albie was diagnosed with an inherited condition, it turns out that Keanu didn't carry the gene, so couldn't be related.

That only left one candidate for Sharon's babyfather - the one and only Phil Mitchell!
Although she tried to keep the news to herself, the truth came out on her destroyed wedding day to Keanu, which ended in his murder, and Phil discovered that Albie was his son.

Now that Keanu's body has been laid to rest, Sharon has broken the news to Albie and Phil finally finds the right moment to confirm to him that he's his dad.

Stevie Mitchell feels bad that he's let down grandson Will Mitchell after his attempt to give him some cash to pay off a blackmailer went sour.

Mo Harris encourages Stevie to cheer up and she ropes him into doing a magic act with her at Jay Brown's charity fundraiser in his late wife Lola Pearce Brown's name.

The pair wow the crowd and Stevie is chuffed as Mo's successfully managed to lift his spirits. But things are about to go south for Stevie when the fundraiser money is stolen...

Who is to blame?
