Jays.

Surely if they die in an accident the livers will be donated to the top of the transplant list.

Would be too much of a co-incidence to go to him.

What's her face the copper would have him for murder

It should be Ronnie's... then Phil can have random inexplicable outbursts about MySistah and kettles.

I wonder how many viewers will be going:

"oh no, Phil can't DIE!" (like TPTB might be expecting). ...


compared to how many will be yelling:

"die ya miserable b**stard!"



Phil won't be going anywhere will he? This time next year he'll be back to normal and drinking whisky in the Vic still pretending he's the hardest man in Walford lol!

Personally I think that killing him off would be a very brave decision, I mean what more can happen to him that hasn't already? But I also think that Phil stifles the characters around him nowadays, it would be nice to see how they get on without him but it's not going to happen when we're already losing
Spoiler


I stil think that Steve McFadden is one of EE's best actors though.

Love your second option lotty. It would make my year if he died.

They couldn't have come up with a less dramatic s/l if they'd tried. Even Kim's driving test will have me on the edge of my seat in comparison.😨

I notice SOC is still living the fantasy when he said to Jay the dealer would have 'him to deal with' how exactly?

Would will he shoot his liver out of his arse at the bloke?

This time next year he will be swilling whiskey and beating up entire regiments of the SAS with one hand tied behind his back and blindfolded.

I am past caring anymore.

2016 has already seen:

Brexit
Trump
The deaths of all of my childhood heroes

Could Phil Mitchell finally croak it?

It's the good news we need in these uncertain times. Come on SOC, make it a Christmas Miracle.

The producers must think we're the most gullible viewers alive.

There's no point giving Phil a life-threatening storyline anymore because we all know he will walk out of it alive. He is half-human, half-teflon.

I would argue there's a better chance of Phil coming out as gay than him ever dying.

I think I would really like Phil once again if they actually wrote him as an actual human being rather than some untouchable 'God' like figure who is a utter bastard to everyone and is fueled by bitterness. The term "if it ain't broke don't fix it" was perfectly apt to Phil back when he was a great character.

Anything is possible but given reactions over the years to big characters being killed off (Pat) I doubt they would just kill him off and I reckon if the higher ups in the drama department ever got whiff that's what was happening against Steve's wishes they would sack SOC.

Which is wrong - utterly wrong.

All the other legends were treated like the shit on someones shoe - only the Mitchells (like the utterly repulsive screeching banshee) were immune.

EE was once an ensemble piece where everyone even the iconic characters (Den/Angie/Lou/Pauline/Arthur etc) were treated all the same.

Not in the 21st century.

Why not rename the show f*****g Philthenders and have done with it?

I'm surprised TPTB don't realise how boring it is to have a storyline about a character "dying" when every single viewer knows it won't happen.

Take a look at Phil in happier times:

Reliving the love story that was Phil and Shirl:

Here's Phil giving birth to what appears to be a mutant baby:

The true heir to the Mitchell empire.


All these memories are bringing a tear to my eye. I'll miss ya, Phil.

It must be written into Steve's contract that the Poison Potato must always emerge victorious with regard to fights/feuds/poker/pool/women and make almost instant recoveries from addictions/car crashes/comas/bankruptcies etc.

Oh and his heart, still beating, breaking out of his body and flying away like a bat out of hell.

Boring.

Boring.

Boring.

Or maybe Denise's baby could die and the liver could save Phil the dad

It would be brave to kill him off, but currently utterly useless. There is nobody that has the hard man image he portrays so well, albeit old and dying. They tried bringing Vincent in as the hard man, and it just didn't work, Ben has his angry outbursts but doesn't compare mentally or physically, they even tried it with Mick, but all he can manage is an evil look and some rhyming slang.

Perhaps I'm just wanting the show to be back at its best as was seen IMO during the 2000s, Phil financially well off and owning 'the square' along with his rivalry mainly with Ian, but also with Steve. Ian with his businesses, eventually being overstretched and him going bankrupt, the rivalry with Steve over many things - women/money/etc.

That just isn't being fulfilled right now, and whilst he isn't exactly in fighting fitness as he was then, and the same goes for Ian, they are both at least a link to that past that just has no replacement just yet.

Would that be possible at that age? Or would it be something ignored by Eastenders and the operation would go ahead, perhaps include a heart and hair transplant whilst they're at it!
