"Phil and Shirley are great together - they're a match made in heaven,"

I could think of another place....

How the hell could Shirley forgive Phil and Ben when she finds out the truth which I hope dont drag on for a long time

I agree lizann but it looks like Ben will drop Jay in it and probably Phil eventually, I would not be surprised to see this storyline run till the end of the year. It surely must only finish when Ben leaves the show, assuming he gets caught?

Yeh , pity Hev has left, should have had Ben attempting to hit her and Hev wacking the little slime ball instead. in self defence. imo there was more value in keeping Hev than psycho Ben.

EastEnders star Steve McFadden has revealed that Phil Mitchell manages to hear how Heather Trott died.

When Ben (Joshua Pascoe) paid his fateful visit, Heather (Cheryl Fergison) was leaving a voicemail message on the answer machine of best friend Shirley Carter (Linda Henry).

> 'EastEnders' death aftermath: Full spoilers revealed

Of how Phil tries to cover up the murder to protect his son, McFadden told What's on TV: "He manages to get hold of Shirley's phone and delete the message without her realising.

"He has to because Heather was on the phone when she answered the door to Ben, so the message machine had recorded everything. Hearing it sickens Phil."

"Family is everything to him," McFadden continued. "First he fakes a burglary, then he destroys the evidence. He gets Ben to throw away the murder weapon - the frame he hit Heather with.

"Then he finds Jay and gets both boys to change their clothes. He burns them so there is no trace of blood on either of them. Then he creates an alibi for them.

> 'EastEnders' exit was emotional, says Cheryl Fergison

"This is a story of loyalty and betrayal - his love of Ben is what forces him to be disloyal to the love of his life, Shirley."

McFadden recently lauded Heather's exit storyline as "one of the best" he has "ever been involved in" since joining the Albert Square soap in 1988.

EastEnders actress Linda Henry has paid tribute to former co-star Cheryl Fergison, praising her portrayal of kind-hearted Heather Trott.

Fergison filmed her final scenes for the soap a few weeks ago, and viewers will see Heather meet a tragic end in Monday night's (March 19) episode.

Henry, who plays Heather's best friend Shirley Carter, shares her memories of working with Fergison during an interview on upcoming BBC Three special EastEnders Revealed: The Murder.

"The public took to [Heather] immediately," Henry explained. "It could have been a one-dimensional role, but Cheryl has brought so many different layers to Heather. I don't think there is anyone who could have played Heather like Cheryl."

She continued: "We just immediately, and I'm not just saying this, clicked."

Monday's episode sees troubled teenager Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) kill Heather during a furious showdown at her flat. However, Fergison stayed on set for the aftermath scenes, which air across the rest of the week.

Henry confirmed: "Cheryl decided to play the corpse, because she knew how much that meant to us and how much we would relate to seeing her there."

In the hours following Heather's death, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) tries to cover up his son's involvement in the tragedy - concealing the truth from partner Shirley.

Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood told EastEnders Revealed that Heather's exit sparks "an enormous storyline that is going to rumble on for quite some time".

He added: "When Shirley finds out, there's going to be a nuclear reaction. Phil always wanted Ben to be a Mitchell and now he's got what he wanted in the worst possible fashion, so I think Phil is going to regret ever saying those words to his son."

EastEnders Revealed: The Murder airs on Thursday, March 22 at 8pm on BBC Three. The show features interviews with Cheryl Fergison, Linda Henry, Steve McFadden, Jamie Borthwick and Bryan Kirkwood among others.

Two benefits from Heather's demise.
1. Harry Hill surely has to drop his stupid, cruel and unfunny "Heather from Eastenders" skits.
2. Lisa Reilly now has some competition when scripts call for a Thirtysomething " larger than life" female character. Hopefully, in future, producers employing her will give Cheryl Fergison's characters the benefit of brain cells, unlike their Eastenders counterparts.
