Note: Phil also cause the Queen Vic fire which endangered the lives of almost all of Walfords residents. The Mitchell brothers quickly became two of the soap's most popular characters and storylines involving them began to dominate the programme. Their arrival heralded a new era for the soap, which aptly coincided with the beginning of a new decade — EastEnders during the s having been very much dominated by the hugely popular Watts family. One of the most notable and popular early storylines involving Phil was a love triangle between him, his brother and his brother's wife Sharon played by Letitia Dean.
Despite the fact that Sharon was married to Grant, EastEnders writer Tony Jordan revealed in The Mitchells — The Full Story that the love-triangle storyline had been planned since Phil and Grant's introduction, after the writers decided Sharon was perfect for them both. This storyline was slow burning and spread over several years, providing a plethora of dramatic tension along the way. The episode in which Phil betrayed his brother with Sharon occurred in September in one of the soap's notorious three-handers.
Things finally came to a head in with some of EastEnders most popular and renowned episodes, which were dubbed "Sharongate" — centred around Grant's discovery of the affair and his reaction. The repercussions of Phil's betrayal contributed to many subsequent storylines involving the Mitchell brothers during the s.
Sharongate has also proven a popular storyline with viewers and it was voted the sixth top soap opera moment of the decade in a poll of 17, people for What's On TV magazine. Among the many issues Phil has been used to cover is alcoholism and the consequences the condition has upon the sufferer's life. The relationship between alcohol abuse and domestic violence was explored between Phil and his wife Kathy played by Gillian Taylforth culminating in the slow deterioration of their marriage, which gripped viewers throughout Of particular note is an episode where Phil attends Alcoholics Anonymous February , an "alien and uncomfortable arena" where he was forced to talk about his condition, expose his vulnerability and reveal the basis of his problem — the physical abuse he'd received from his father and his fear that he will do the same.
Phil's disposition altered during the early s when a darker more menacing side to his personality began to surface. This change was perhaps a consequence of Grant's departure, who up until this point had always been depicted as the more selfish, thuggish and nastier of the two. The storyline signifying the departure of Ross Kemp played heavily on the Mitchell brothers' fragile and damaged relationship. After discovering that Grant had vengefully slept with Kathy, Phil went ballistic with a handgun causing the hijacked Vauxhall Astra they were driving to career at high speed into the River Thames, in an episode that was watched by Shot in London's Docklands, the scenes required stunt doubles, divers and crash test dummies and it has been hailed as "one of the soap's most dramatic storylines ever.
