Tonight’s episode of EastEnders (Tuesday, June 24) saw Nigel Bates‘ dementia symptoms continue to worsen as his condition became increasingly difficult for Phil Mitchell to manage – leading Kat to call for the return of Nigel’s family, Julie and Clare.
Phil’s ex, Kat Moon, was worried for Phil after seeing how he was struggling to cope – and now injured, after burning himself in a catastrophic incident involving Nigel and a pan of hot water last night.

Kat worried for Phil as Nigel’s symptoms worsened in EastEnders tonight
Only yesterday, Phil had caught Nigel trying to leave the house while barefoot. He’d managed to avert that particular disaster, only to find Nigel on the brink of almost burning the house down after trying to cook a meal in his absence.
Finding Phil injured and struggling to cope, Kat told her ex that he needed to get help for Nigel before things took an even worse turn. However, Phil refused, and, as tonight’s episode continued, found himself even more frustrated by Nigel’s confusion and chaotic behaviour.
After mistaking Lexi for daughter Clare again, Nigel grew upset, and had to be taken home to recover. As he unwound with a horror film, Kat told Phil that he needed to consider calling Julie, before it’s too late.
And, as the episode ended, it seemed as though Phil was seriously considering her advice. Will Phil listen to the voice of reason and call Julie and Clare?
