EastEnders viewers 'solve' what's wrong with Nigel as devastating twist 'sealed'

ok.co.uk:

EastEnders could be gearing up for some emotional scenes in the New Year, as a big clue in Tuesday's episode (31 December) has fans worried.

Nigel Bates, who made a dramatic return to Walford last week after nearly three decades, seems to be hiding something, and his latest words have sparked concern.

His reunion with old pal Phil Mitchell has been bittersweet, with both men facing their own battles. Nigel confided in Yolande Trueman that he's back for the "memories" and told Phil he's looking to stick around, longing for his past life amidst a personal crisis.

Admitting he's lost his sense of self, Nigel found a pillar of support in Phil, who has also been struggling. Phil is at the centre of a loneliness plot, with signs of depression worrying viewers as he withdraws from those around him.
