Top actor!Rest in peace Mike!

@P30D Yeah, this was the Car Lot's second arson-attack in early 1996 which was started by Barry Evans (Pat's husband Roy Evans' son). Phil was later saved by the passing Ricky Butcher.:)

[P30D]

I don't quite understand...this can't be when Frank paid Phil to torch the car lot, as I've just watched that episode on another video and it's completely different! That's when the homeless man died inside. So this must be different, does anybody know the context of this clip? It features the same characters but appears to be a different fire...

[Delboylover1997]

@theogz. No, I think that's too obvious. It'll be someone that you won't expect, a shocker. Derek's in the centre, and he's a main suspect. I'd be really disappointed if it was him, because anyone could've guessed that. Phil's stalker will apparantely be revealed in Christmas Day's episode. It starts at 9pm on BBC1.

[Delboylover1997]

@ardbastard1, Yeah. I think it really could be anyone, because Phil's made a list of enimes over the years. Phil was also shot on his doorstep in March 2001, and it was a massive who-dunit storyline. Type in 'Phil Mitchell is shot' on the search bar. It was one of the biggest who-dunits Walford had ever seen, even Lorraine Kelly was asking who the cuplrit was. It was revealed that Lisa Fowler, Phil's ex-wife, was the shooter.

[ardbastard1]

@theogz Nah, it all started before Derek showed up & he didn't even want to stay in Walford originally, so why would he have been bothered? Plus, he didn't even know Phil until recently either. Alot of people think it's Derek, but that wouldn't make sense at all. The only possible reason he would've started doing it is because of the Jack & Phil feud, but how would he have known about that when he wasn't around? Max wouldn't have told him, as he didn't know the full extent of it himself.

[ardbastard1]

@Delboylover1997 I think it'll be more complicated than that. Shirley is the one that will first discover the identity of the stalker & for some reason she doesn't reveal it to Phil, so if it's David Wicks, who she doesn't know, why would she keep it under-wraps? No, it has to be someone closer to home in my opinion. Plus, David really doesn't have the courage to cross Phil to that extent & I don't really think he cares that much either. Christian's back at Xmas too, remember. Hmm...? Who knows.

[Delboylover1997]

@ardbastard1, No, it was rumors about Sharon's return, so it can't be her. Anyway, why would she wait this long before blackmailing him? She would've done it right away. I believe it's David Wicks who's stalking phil. Phil's stalker will be revealed on Christmas Day, and they're out for revenge.....

[Delboylover1997]

I agree. I think it's David Wicks too, it makes sense. I mean, he'll be out for revenge and he never got on with Phil when he was in Walford. Plus, his last words to Phil were ''One day you will pay''. So, I think you may be right. Phil's stalker will be revealed on Christmas Day 2011.
