Another week of drama from Walford as this weeks visit to EastEnders shows that Ben’s problems are far from over – and the same goes for Phil.
And Keegan may have crossed a line.
Here’s your spoilers for EastEnders between Monday 18th and Friday 22nd May.
Ben suffers a setback
Having had problems with his hearing for some time now after hitting his head during the 35th anniversary boat sinking, Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) is due to undergo an operation to help but this week, he gets a setback. With him currently unwell, there is a strong chance the surgery could be called off, so he decides the best thing he can do is keep the illness to himself. With Callum Highway (Tony Clay) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) both concerned for him, they begin to suspect that he is hiding something. Ben, however, continues to keep up the ruse that he is fine, but soon receives disappointing news when the doctor says that he knows he is not 100% and the surgery will have to be rescheduled.
Keegan and Jack are still at odds
Keegan Baker (Zack Morris) has had a rough trot of late after being accused of assaulting a police officer. What stung the most for him was when Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) seemed to doubt his innocence, When new video evidence came to light that proved Keegan was telling the truth, Jack urged him to keep the footage to himself but Keegan ignored him and posted the video to social media. Now he must deal with his actions, and Jack could pay the price with his job. Tiffany Butcher (Maisie Smith) is the one to push Keegan to reveal the truth to Jack and when he does, he is met with Jack’s anger. Has Keegan gone too far and will Jack suffer as a result?
Phil gets a visitor
Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) is a man in need of cash, especially given his purchase of a certain pub. And it looked like Danny Hardcastle (Paul Usher) was going to be able to help him out when he asked Phil to do a job for him. However, things soon turned violent when Danny mocked Ben, causing Phil to make sure he knew not to do it again. When Danny returns this week to speak to him whilst he is cleaning Dennis’s graffiti-covered grave, it could be that the job is back on – but what about Ben? With everything going on, it would not be a good time for him to get involved in anything. Besides, Phil could have bigger problems as Kathy seems to be growing suspicious that something is being kept from her. Will she start digging for answers?
