EastEnders hardman Phil Mitchell is used to getting his own way, but Linda Carter looks set to throw a spanner in the works.
New EastEnders spoilers have revealed that Phil (Steve McFadden) will try and coerce Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) into handing over The Queen Vic, much to his wife’s disgust.
Linda (Kellie Bright) was originally open to the idea of selling the pub to Phil, determined to battle her demons and leave the boozer in an effort to overcome her alcoholism.
Phil hopes to give himself and Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean) a fresh start in life, buying the pub to escape the grief of Denny’s death.

Sharon and Phil’s relationship takes a bitter turn when they argue over her decision to keep baby Kayden, despite originally planning on giving him away.
Siding with her friend, when Linda hears how Phil has been treating Sharon, the business deal turns sour.
Linda confides in Mick, explaining that she doesn’t want to hand over the pub to Phil – even though Mick has already put down a deposit on a new place.

Mick is left fretting about their financial situation, torn between showing Linda his support and honouring his deal with Phil.
Determined to claim the watering hole for himself, Phil starts to put pressure on Mick, forcing him to sign the papers.
As stubborn as ever, Linda refuses to play ball, and instructs Mick to put the pen down.

Mick reaches out to Sharon, begging her to convince her best friend to hand over The Queen Vic to Phil.
Sharon agrees that it’s safest for Linda to move out, and tries to convince her to change her mind in time to secure the deal.
Will Sharon’s efforts prove successful, making Phil the new landlord of The Queen Vic?
