This was in TV Choice

"As Shirley receives a blast from the past, Phil gets a shock when he tries to lay a few ghosts of his own to rest. Could their mutual despair bring the former lovers back together again?"

and Inside soap say Dean is back this week

[Kim]

Dean must be the unexpected visitor. About time, his return has been dragged out more than Stacey's!

I also thought that Lucy's funeral was this week, but it's not clear from the spoilers.

[monalisa62003]

I have heard the funeral is the week after, although thats not confirmed yet.

[Kim]

That's looking more likely now. The cast lists went up late last night and Les appears on the Friday, so that's probably the start of the funeral arrangements. The funeral itself can't be this week as Christian is returning for it and isn't in the cast lists.

[monalisa62003]

They take surprise returns off the cast lists now, Dean isnt in them. But yes funeral is week 20,im wondering what happens with phil&Shirley as they are nowhere near each other in the Friday cast list

[Perdita]

EastEnders fans will see Shirley Carter make a move on her ex-partner Phil Mitchell later this month.

Upcoming episodes see Shirley and Dean (Matt Di Angelo) come face-to-face for the first time in years when Stan tricks his grandson into paying a visit to the Queen Vic.

Upset over the row, Shirley falls back on old habits by hitting the bottle. She also tries to retrieve some keepsakes of her kids from the Butcher house, but faces opposition when Bianca refuses to cooperate.

When Phil (Steve McFadden) finds out what is going on, he gets a drunken Shirley up from the pavement outside Ian's restaurant and successfully bribes Tiffany into getting her stuff back.

Shirley is grateful for Phil's support and responds by trying to kiss him, but will he return her advances?
