EastEnders’ Ben Mitchell ‘makes deadly mistake’ as he teams up with his emotional dad Phil before operation
EASTENDERS Ben Mitchell "made a deadly mistake" as he teamed up with his emotional dad Phil for another job before his operation.
Phil became emotional on last night's episode of the BBC soap after receiving football tickets he bought for him and Dennis before his death.
However, Ben had a heart-to-heart with his grieving father, which put him in a better mood.
This crumbled quickly as Phil grew frustrated when he couldn't communicate properly with his hearing-impaired son, so set off to speak to Mick and Linda about buying famous EastEnders pub the Queen Vic.
He actually met Danny Hardcastle, who tried to rope the Albert Square hardman into another job to get money for the pub.
Their meeting didn't go smoothly when Danny insulted Ben - and warned Phil that his son couldn't be a part of their operation.
So Phil lured Danny back to The Arches and beat him up, before heading back to Ben to let him in on the plan.
Ben accepted, even though he was supposed to have an operation to fix his hearing. This will also put him at odds with budding policeman boyfriend Callum.
But worst of all, could he be the target of Danny's backlash? Especially when spoilers show tonight's episode will see his operation pushed back by the doctor.
Fans are worried about Ben - and his relationship with Callum.
