As Phil hides a huge secret from Julie, it all kicks off when he crashes the vow renewal tomorrow

There's huge drama ahead...

Phil and Julie saw their feud reach an all-time high in today’s EastEnders (Tuesday, February 3) when Linda tried – and failed – to get them talking again. But things are only set to get worse when Phil turns up at the vow renewal tomorrow and causes havoc.

Ever since Julie found out Phil was planning to take Nigel to Portugal, there has been a frosty atmosphere between the pair.

Believing Phil might whisk her husband off abroad the moment she had her back turned, Julie moved her and Nigel into Peacock Palace. However, Nigel has struggled to settle there without his familiar surroundings and his oldest friend by his side.

Phil has clearly missed Nigel, and his grumpy demeanor (well, more grumpy than usual!) has had Linda worried. But it was when Linda clocked the bruises on Julie’s arms in yesterday’s EastEnders that she decided to step in.

Linda made amends with Julie

Today’s episode saw Linda try to make peace between Julie and Phil… all for the sake of Nigel. However, Julie revealed the real reason she moved Nigel out of the Mitchell house and Linda was shocked.

While Phil tried to reason that he thought the sunshine and change of scenery would do his friend good, Julie didn’t agree.

Soon the pair were fighting again, and Linda realised her plan had failed.

Later, when a struggling Julie had another run-in with an agitated Nigel, Linda wanted to help. She suggested to Julie that she organised her and Nigel’s vow renewal for them, hoping it might give Julie something nice to remember.

Julie was hesitant at first, but eventually agreed that Linda could put together a special event for the following day. However, Julie had one rule… Phil was not to be invited.

EastEnders: Phil does the unthinkable to Julie

Meanwhile, Phil was at home on the phone with a care home. They had called to say a space had become available for Nigel and he agreed to let Julie know and call them back in the morning.

Fully planning to finally let Nigel get the care that he needed, Phil made all the notes he needed. However, when Linda arrived and told him that she was organising Julie and Nigel’s vow renewal but that he wasn’t to come… Phil saw red.

Fuming at Julie once again, Phil screwed up the notebook page with the care home details, clearly intending to hide the fact they’d called from Julie.

The drama continues tomorrow

Tomorrow sees the day of Nigel and Julie’s vow renewal arrive, and Phil still hasn’t told Julie about the care home place.

Knowing that he and Julie need to accept it in 24 hours to ensure his place, Phil is keeping the news from her after their fallout the previous day.

As the ceromoney approacheds, Nigel wanders over to Phil’s and presumes he’s the best man, which angers Phil.

Phil agrees to take Nigel to the wedding and then leave. What will Julie say when she sees he has crashed the service? 

What else happened in EastEnders tonight?

As well as Julie and Phil's argument taking a shocking turn, Ross demanded answers from Vicki following her cheating bombshell.

Elsewhere, Patrick made a big decision, and Bea landed Honey in huge trouble...

Ross and Vicki reunited

After Vicki confessed to cheating, Ross wanted to know who the other man was. However, she remained tight-lipped and told him it was a stranger.

While Ross stewed over the fact that Vicki had been unfaithful, Zack tried to convince Vicki that they could have a future together. However, she was adamant that her future was with Ross. Luckily, Ross was on the same page and soon the engagement was back on.

However, as the couple celebrated in The Vic, Mark issued a chilling warning to Zack. Stay away from his sister, or else.

Patrick wants answers from Zoe

Heartbroken that no one wanted to come to Anthony's funeral, Patrick was struggling with his grief.

Knowing Zoe would hold answers about Anthony, Patrick decided he wanted to visit her in jail. Is he making a big mistake?

Honey made a huge error

After getting drunk with Bea at the Minute Mart, Honey let slip that Suki once tried to kiss her. Bea was stunned and told her new friend that this could be added to the long list of things she could sue the Panesars for.

Honey wasn't so sure, until later, fueled by wine, she decided to write a strongly worded email... only to accidentally press send. Will she soon be out of a job?
