Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) decides to take a chance on love in EastEnders next week as he opens up to Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) about how he really feels about her.
The Walford legend, as viewers know, recently discharged himself from a mental health unit after a battle with depression, which saw him attempt to take his own life.
His return to the Square proved difficult, with the hard-man admitting that discussing his feelings with his loved ones has been one of the hardest parts of his recovery.
Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley), however, were both understanding and encouraged him to tell Sharon how he feels about her.
In emotional scenes on Monday (March 31), Phil comes to realise just how much Sharon cares about him after she organises a special Mother’s Day get-together for him, with the mothers of all his kids in attendance.
This comes after Nigel, who has been diagnosed with dementia, gets confused and believes Phil has gone missing, which sparks momentary panic.
Phil covers for his friend and enjoys a special afternoon with loved ones, which leads him to open up to his beloved Sharon about how she is his one true love.
The news leaves Sharon in shock but, as confirmed in new pictures of the scene in question, the former flames share a warm moment together.

Is she ready to embark on a new relationship with Phil? Or has their moment passed?
