EastEnders is about to get a sprinkle of star power as renowned actor Keith Allen joins the cast, portraying the role of Gaz in the beloved BBC soap.

In an emotional twist, the programme will dedicate a poignant episode to Phil Mitchell's journey of healing following his heartbreaking suicide attempt.

We'll see soap stalwart Phil (iconically brought to life by Steve McFadden) navigate through his toughest times during EastEnders' spectacular 40th anniversary episodes aired back in February.

It was then that Phil endeavoured to end his life and subsequently got admitted to a mental health facility. In a powerful portrayal of friendship and recovery on the horizon, our upcoming story has Phil forming a close bond with fellow resident Gaz, who offers indispensable support that encourages Phil to embrace therapy and group activities, breaking down his initial resistance.
