EastEnders has confirmed when Phil Mitchell will return to Albert Square after recovering in hospital.

Phil (Steve McFadden) was left fighting for his life after being attacked by Martin (James Bye) and Stacey (Lacey Turner). By the end of Tuesday's episode (August 6), he woke up from his coma.

New short spoilers released by the show reveal that Phil will be seen returning home on Monday, August 19 – which could be bad news for Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), after Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) framed him for the attack.
