EastEnders is lining up a week of dilemmas for Phil Mitchell as his latest scheme threatens to backfire.

Last night's (May 11) episode saw Phil (Steve McFadden) recruit a delighted Ben to help with a money laundering job that Danny Hardcastle is embroiled in.

With Ben still desperate to prove himself to his dad, Phil will have a change of heart about their plan when he hears that Ben's operation has been postponed.

As Ben receives the bad news at the hospital, Phil is given a dressing down from Linda – who can't help but notice that he seems more concerned with buying The Vic than his son's operation.

However, Phil's mood soon takes a dive when he hears from Kathy that Ben's operation has to be rescheduled.
