Our wishes are Granted this week with the return of the big bad Mitchell ahead of the 40th anniversary week, but while we cheer for his return, Creepy Reiss is lying through his teeth to Sonia, and Ian and Priya grow closer. However, given Mr. Beale’s love of wedding cake, things should hopefully fizzle out before they begin.

1. Sonia Uncovers a Chilling Secret
Sonia becomes obsessed with Bianca’s confession video, despite Reiss urging her to drop it. A health scare lands her in hospital, but back home, as she attempts to delete the video, Sonia stumbles upon a disturbing revelation. Reiss’s evasiveness only fuels her suspicion, leading to a tense confrontation with potentially life-changing consequences.

2. Cindy and Ian’s Tensions Boil Over
Desperate to access to No.45, Cindy faces rejection from Ian, Kathy, and Peter. Sparks fly when Priya steps in, leading to unexpected tensions at The Vic. Ian and Priya’s attempt to make Cindy and Ravi jealous backfires, but a shared moment is cut short when Kathy arrives home.

3. Sharon Fears for Phil as His Mental Health Spirals
Against his wishes, Sharon persuades Phil to see a doctor, but her concern backfires. Furious, Phil lashes out, pushing Sharon away. His fragile mental state deteriorates throughout the week, culminating in haunting hallucinations tied to his past. As he struggles to distinguish reality from delusion, familiar faces from the Mitchell family’s history resurface… but can anyone reach Phil before it’s too late?

4. Phil’s Crisis Reaches Breaking Point
As Phil’s psychosis worsens, he becomes trapped in vivid hallucinations from 1985. His condition prompts a desperate search. Just when it seems hope is lost, Jay tracks him down… and Sharon receives unexpected support from a returning face: Grant Mitchell.

6. Linda Returns Home from Rehab
Amid the chaos, Linda quietly returns from rehab, greeted with love and support. But with Walford’s residents battling their own demons, can Linda find the stability she craves, or will old habits resurface in the face of fresh drama?
