Eastenders is a gift that keeps giving of late. Not too long ago, Hev was seen licking a rancid yoghurt lid from a bin that was supposed to belong to George Michael, Darren’s lovelife has revolved around self mutilation and of course, Phil Mitchell is on crack.
It’s hilarious. Bearing in mind that Phil Mitchell looks like a baby having a tantrum at the best of times, Steve McFadden’s acting chops are really stretched when he’s asked to play the drunk and now, the druggie.
This whole sequence is what is known as a ‘Bouncer’s Dream’ moment. It’s when a soap takes a baffling turn, leaving everyone wide-eyed and so stunned that they’ll only be able to talk about it in a year’s time, and even then, they’ll assumed they’d made it all up. Well, here’s your chance to buy something to cement this event into your memory.2010 will always be remembered at the year that Phil Mitchell got stuck into some crack-rocks and boned That Woman From Pulling under a sleeping bag on a grotty living room floor.
We’ve got Phil getting off the drugs to look forward too as well (we’re hoping for a Trainspotting moment where we see Phil crying in a bedroom while Ben crawls along the ceiling in a tutu).
You’re clearly a fan of this storyline, so you should buy this ace ‘Pipe and Slippers Man’ t-shirt. It’s our generation’s equivalent of buying a commemorative Charles and Diana plate. ?14 is a bargain too! Buy it here
