EASTENDERS fans are in shock after Phil Mitchell fled Walford with son Raymond.

The Walford hardman – who is played by actor Steve McFadden in the BBC soap – is being hunted by police for Vincent Hubbard’s murder.

Viewers know he didn’t kill Vincent, Aidan Maguire did, but the Fox’s don’t care and have conspired to have him arrested.

In tonight’s episode he discovered the plot and planned to snatch son Raymond and flee for another life.

But as Sharon desperately tried to appeal to Phil’s better nature – it looked like she was getting through to him.

However when Jack and Denise arrived with Kat it all kicked off.

Denise screamed at Phil to get away from Raymond – who was happily sat in his car seat – while Jack asked him if a murder charge wasn’t enough.

Jack added: “You do this and she won’t ever bring him to prison.

“You won’t ever get to see your son again.”

That tipped Phil over the edge and he ran around and got into the car and began to drive off.

Denise eventually ran over to the side of the car to bang on it where Raymond was sitting.

But none of them stood in the way to block Phil from driving off.

And none of them called the police who were all over the square.

Fans were all saying the same thing about the scene. 

One wrote: "Wow #EastEnders is proper explosive tonight !"

A second said: "New year same Phil Mitchell."

Another added: "Wow @bbceastenders was immense tonight! Couldn’t take my eyes off the screen! #EastEnders"
