EASTENDERS fans are convinced Ben Mitchell is going to murder his dad Phil after tonight’s episode ended in a dramatic showdown.
The mechanic (Max Bowden) pointed a gun at his dad to stop him from killing Keanu Taylor, who knows where Callum Highway is being held.
Keanu has Ben’s boyfriend held hostage but hasn’t given up the secret location, putting his life on the line.
In tonight’s episode Phil finally got his revenge on Keanu for impregnating Sharon in a brutal fight where he unleashed his rage.
The pair clashed on the boat with Phil coming out on top but as he prepared to shoot Keanu dead once and for all Ben burst in with his own gun.
And instead of pointing it at Keanu – he aimed the gun at Phil and made it clear he would kill him to save Callum.
Fans are convinced that Ben is going to kill his dad and he will be the major character dying this week.
One fan wrote: “Aww wow Ben would kill for Callum. #Eastenders even his own dad”
A second said: “Omfg yes ben doing everything he can to protect callum”
Another added: “Callum Highway means EVERYTHING to Ben Mitchell! He literally just pulled a gun on Phil to make sure his man will be safe and sound”
Meanwhile Callum had managed to unchain himself in the building where Keanu was keeping him but fell and injured himself while trying to escape.
He couldn’t shout for help when Phil got the information out of Keanu and sent Shirley to find him, but when she couldn’t she called Phil who resumed his attack on Keanu before Ben stopped him.
The Sun exclusively revealed last month how a major character would die in the boat disaster for the soap’s 35th anniversary episodes.
Could it be Phil?
