EastEnders_ Surprising Phil Mitchell Clue Leaves EastEnders Fans in Shock _ East

Transcript

00:00 EastEnders fans stunned as they spot unexpected Phil Mitchell clue.

00:04 EastEnders fans have noticed a big change to the credits of the BBC soap in a recent

00:08 episode, with some wondering if it may be a hint to Phil Mitchell's future.

00:13 Viewers will remember that Phil married Kat Slater last month, amid a dramatic storyline

00:18 that saw him cheat on her with Emma Harding just days before the wedding.

00:23 Fortunately for him, Kat has yet to find out, and the ceremony went without a hitch, making

00:28 them Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell something that some fans struggled to get used to at first.

00:33 Since then, we have grown used to seeing "Kat Mitchell" in the end credits, which is why

00:38 some fans got quite a surprise when they noticed that Kat Slater had returned at the end of

00:43 Monday's episode.

00:45 During the episode, Kat had offered support to a distraught Sharon Watts, also a former

00:50 Mrs. Mitchell who was reeling from the discovery that son Orby had been kidnapped.

00:54 However, as the credits rolled, it was Kat's name that caught people's attention, with

01:00 one viewer taking to Twitter to share their joy at the return to her previous name.

01:05 Other fans were quick to respond, with one joking about how the honeymoon period was

01:09 over quickly, and another pointing out that "Kat Mitchell" hadn't lasted long.

01:14 Another fan quoted the tweet asking if this was a hint to an upcoming storyline, leaving

01:19 fans to wonder if perhaps Kat and Phil's marriage really is set to fall apart.

01:24 Of course, the burden of Phil's cheating secret is still hanging over him, and with Alfie

01:29 Moon set to return, future scenes will see Phil panicking about Kat's ex revealing all.

01:35 Could Alfie expose Phil and Emma's one-night stand to Kat and cause their breakup?

01:40 Alfie isn't the only one who knows about Phil's infidelity, with Keanu Taylor having

01:45 sussed things out pretty quickly.

01:47 His relationship with Phil has always been strained, so could he be the one to spill

01:51 all?

01:52 Or, could Phil uncover Keanu's involvement in Orbie's supposed kidnap, only to be blackmailed

01:58 into silence as part of a pact to keep each other's secrets?

02:02 Elsewhere, fans are eagerly awaiting the Christmas Day episode which will see at least one of

02:07 Walford's men dead on the floor of the Queen Vic, having been murdered by the Six.

02:11 Phil's name has been thrown into the mix on a number of occasions as the potential

02:16 body, given that he has links to almost all of the women involved.

02:20 He was previously married to both Kathy Beale and Sharon, has a child with Denise Fox, and

02:26 has had several business dealings with Suki Panesar.

02:29 If the Six were to cover up the murder well enough, Kat may not know that he was dead,

02:34 and therefore just assume she had been jilted, making her even more keen to keep her maiden

02:38 name.

02:39 Could Phil be set to die at Christmas, leaving Kat without a husband and therefore a slater

02:44 again, after all, he is currently in possession of those cufflinks?
