EastEnders Confirms Two Major Mitchell Returns in Explosive New Spoilers
The Mitchells Are Back
EastEnders fans, get ready — two missing Mitchells are finally making their long-awaited return to Albert Square. New advanced spoilers confirm that both Phil Mitchell and Nicola Mitchell will soon be back on screen, just as chaos and heartbreak grip Walford.
Their return couldn’t come at a more crucial time, with old wounds reopening, shocking discoveries on the horizon, and several families hanging by a thread.
Phil Mitchell Returns from Portugal
After weeks away visiting his daughter Louise in Portugal, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) is set to make a dramatic comeback. His return follows the fallout from Nigel Bates’ devastating accident, which left newcomer Jasmine Fisher and Gina Knight injured.
During Phil’s absence, his close friend Julie has been struggling to keep her life from falling apart while caring for the guilt-ridden Nigel. When Nigel confessed to Jack Branning after regaining his memory, Julie was left crushed — and desperate for help.
Next week’s spoilers tease that Nigel delivers another emotional blow, telling Julie that he’s too unwell to make their long-planned trip to India. But just as all hope seems lost, Phil returns to share the burden and help his old friends pick up the pieces.
Phil’s comeback is sure to reignite his commanding presence in Walford — and as always, when a Mitchell returns, trouble is never far behind.
Nicola Mitchell’s Shocking Discovery
Meanwhile, another Mitchell is also heading home. Nicola, who has been absent for several weeks, is set to return to Walford amid a terrifying storyline involving her son, Harry.
Viewers know that Harry has been held hostage in Kojo’s flat by the menacing Okie. As tensions rise, Kojo attempts to escape and get help, but Okie violently stops him. Later, Okie lies to Ravi, insisting that both Harry and Kojo have been released — but the truth is far darker.
The following week’s spoilers reveal that Nicola makes an unexpected discovery. Could she uncover the truth about Harry’s disappearance and Okie’s sinister secret?
Trouble Ahead in Walford
With both Phil and Nicola returning to the fold, EastEnders is gearing up for a tense few weeks filled with twists, lies, and emotional reckonings. As the Mitchell family reunites, the question remains — will their return heal the chaos, or spark new feuds that shake Walford to its core?
One thing is certain: when the Mitchells come back, they don’t come quietly.
