PHIL Mitchell finally woke up from his coma tonight – and fell straight into his son Ben’s evil plan.
Viewers were left shouting at their TVs as Ben wasted no time in spinning his web of lies to frame Keanu Taylor for the attack.
“You were attacked Dad, bashed on the head,” he tells his groggy father as he lies in his hospital bed.
“Who?” Phil manages.
“Keanu tried to kill you,” Ben says.
We all know that it was Stacey Fowler who dealt the blow that left Phil fighting for his life, but Ben is determined to make things work for him.
And fans were outraged by the injustice of the scenes as Keanu comes to terms with the fact he looks guilty.
Earlier in the episode shocked viewers watched as Ben tried to suffocate his dad by squeezing his oxygen tube as his life hung in the balance following last week’s attack.
Jay managed to wrestle him off and talked Ben around.
After Ben was cut out of his father’s will and Keanu was hastily written in – Ben become determined to frame his rival.
He called the mechanic and arranged to meet him at The Arches with a gun.
But it turned out he didn’t even need to use it as the Slaters had already provided him with the perfect opportunity to get Keanu out of the way.
He planted Keanu’s bloody overalls before speaking to the police and telling them his dad and brother-in-law-to-be had been arguing earlier.
Keanu is being framed for the attack on Phil
Meanwhile, Stacey has gone on the run with Martin and two of her three kids – little Arthur drew the short straw, staying in the Square with Kush Kazemi.
At the moment Ben – along with Martin, Kat and Jean – are the only ones who know the truth about what happened in the Arches that night.
But could Ben soon let the truth slip to one of the clan?
