EastEnders spoilers: Phil Mitchell brutally injured in fight with newcomer?

Phil (played by Steve McFadden) sent Keanu (Danny Walters) off to Spain to do a dodgy job for him on the BBC soap.

The teenager ended up bruised and beaten and Phil then set off to sort things out after outcry from Keanu’s mum Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) and Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean).

Both Phil and Keanu will be returning to Walford but there is trouble afoot for them on EastEnders, it seems.

New pictures taken form the set reveal that Phil is back to his old ways after sustaining a nasty head injury.

The wound will be inflicted during a fight with a rival gangster, reports The Sun, who will be played by former Brookside actor Paul Usher.

Snaps also show Keanu in on the action as he accompanies Phil to the meeting which turns violent.

A source told the publication: “Phil is back to his old tricks as he takes Keanu to a meeting that breaks out into a huge fight.

“The dramatic scenes see them escape and later go along to pay off the other gangster with Phil sporting a nasty cut on his head.”

Phil has taken a back seat from his hard man antics of late however, it looks like he’s getting right back to it.

The Mitchell man’s rival will be known to UK soap viewers for his role as Barry Grant on Channel 4 programme Brookside.

He is set to appear in a few episodes of the BBC soap, reports the Daily Star.

An insider said: “Producers were keen to get Paul on board.

“It is only a for a short stint but they wanted to make sure they cast the right actor and they thought he was perfect for the role.”

Other pictures told of how Ben Mitchell would be playing a part in the storyline as he returns to the Square, now played by Max Bowden.

Sharon will no doubt be relieved to see Keanu back in London.

She’d been having an affair with the youngster but Phil is none the wiser at the moment as to what’s been going on.

When he does find out, it could be Keanu who will be the one with his skull cracked open.

Phil initially turns up without Keanu next week on the soap where he drops a big bombshell to wife Sharon.

What will he tell her?

EastEnders continues tomorrow at 7.30pm on ITV.
