BBC Three will also offer viewers a look at the explosive anniversary storylines with a 45-minute interview special – EastEnders Revealed: The Lock In – hosted by Joe Swash as he chats to some of the actors who find themselves at the heart of the anniversary drama.
Ross Kemp will take a trip down Walford memory lane with a special hour-long documentary called EastEnders: 40 Years on The Square, taking fans behind the scenes as he delves into the show’s history and relieves some of the most memorable moments.
With the show celebrating its 40th anniversary next week, and Steve having been a part of it for 35 years, it is no wonder that he refers to the role of Phil as his ‘life’s work’.
However, it wasn’t always intended to be that way, as Steve revealed that Phil and brother Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) were only supposed to be in Albert Square for a short stint.
Phil Mitchell has been an EastEnders staple since 1990, and now actor Steve McFadden has opened up about playing the role in a rare interview.
