Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) turns detective in EastEnders soon as he tries to find enough evidence that proves Karen (Lorraine Stanley) and Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) staged Albie’s kidnap.
The mother and son worked together a few weeks ago to take Albie from Sharon (Letitia Dean) and allow her to believe she had lost another son.
In reality, Albie was actually staying with Karen’s brother-in-law Malcolm and when the little lad returned, Sharon reunited with Keanu, unaware he was responsible for putting her through hell.
Coming up, Mitch (Roger Griffiths) is unimpressed to see Karen splashing the cash in the pub again, aware she is only loaded because of the ransom money from the kidnap.

Kat (Jessie Wallace) demands that Mitch pays for the damage, but Karen goes behind his back and settles the debt by using the stolen Mitchell money. Phil examines the notes Karen gave Kat and sees they are his marked bills.
And after setting Sam (Kim Medcalf) on the case, Phil gets the evidence he needs to prove that Karen and Keanu staged Albie’s kidnap.
