And he hits their mum Grant did as well but he showed regrets with Grant it cuz she defended Tiffany when Grant hit her in front of Courtney and Phil it was something to do with Louise and the social services could have taken her away from Phil but Phil didn't feel remorse at all for slapping his Mum.
@@bensmithkent22 Not sure if User1 was being sarcastic but Phil, while a hardman, was never in the same league as his brother Grant. Grant was almost twice Phil's build, ex army and had more brute force and strength than Phil. Dan Sullivan was also a man who Phil could not beat physically when Dan pinned Phil to a wall once in April 2000. Grant was a very, very physically powerful and very aggressive hardman.
Phil hit Sharon twice in 2003 and 2015 Hit Kathy twice in 1996 and 2016 Hit lisa in 2000 Hit Mel In 2002 Hit Peggy in 2010. Phil has hit 5 woman in the face between 1996 to 2016.
Because the writers at the time need somebody to fill ( no pun intended) Grant‘a replacement. When Grant left in late 1999 The writers were in an awkward position as they had become so dependent on him. So they turned to Phil instead. By doing that they tried to make him like grant giving him similar plots that Grant would’ve had but in my humble opinion it didn’t really work because they just made him far too nasty and hateable.
This angers me I really can’t see what these two saw in bleeding Sharon. She was an absolute Minger and a dislikable person as well with her whiney voice. She really is not all that as she claims. It angers me the fact that they’ve brought her back a few times and she’s still in it her character needs shooting
Is it ok for women to hit women and men to hit men? I dont understand this argument. Nobody should be hitting anyone. There are lots of women who are stronger than men.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis ok, but why would a woman be weaker than a man? There are plenty of woman who are taller and more muscular/built than lots of men. That doesn't make any sense.
It really does amaze me how so much of the EE fandom marvel over the 90s era. The dialogue here is atrociously on the nose. The performance (particularly from Kemp) are comically awful. The scene with Phil and Grant arguing outside the pub feels like an off the cuff improvised script at some budget am dram youth theatres The show today has its flaws (particularly under Jon Senn and post the Covid return) but it's not this feeble. Although compared to when Tiffany turns up to chew up the scenery, I suppose this should be considered comparably better.
You got to be having a laugh ,the dialogue the acting was miles better then any current day EastEnders.Ross kemp in sharongate episode in garage with Phil was a master class in raw emotion something which you wouldn't find on modern day EastEnders
@@diehard21000 all I can say is watch this scene again. Am-dram at its most banal. I'm not dismissing the early days by any stretch although I'd say its most authentic period was in the 80s. The 90s had many high points, but there was a drift towards ratings chasing and simplistic spoon fed story telling. The modern era has many problems, but there is generally much sharper dialogue and characterisation much more richly drawn. Take Sharon for instance. In the 90s, the actress was directed to essentially do a Dynasty/Dallas tribute act with tired pantomime villainy to match. Nowadays, we have a much more rounded character who has the lingering influence of her parents and who gave a startlingly rich performance of a grieving mother. (Admittedly the kill Ian plot was a bit questionable)
@@Dean_dialectic I totally disagree in the 90s the characters were more realistic and dialogue far more believable and felt more authentic.Nowerdays characters have many holes and storylines forgot in a instance .Look at all that rubbish of when Gavin was calling Sharon princes. As you say the Sharon attempt to kill Ian was ridiculous as was being a doormat for Phil.I believe the drift started after the who shot Phil which was sensational at the time in good way but has been done many times since in different guise. If you look at Kat now and when Kat started in EastEnders it's night and day to see characters were better written years ago.
Phil in 1993: You don’t hit women
Phil in 2003: *hits Sharon after she hit him*
It’s self defence. Poor comparison
And he hits their mum Grant did as well but he showed regrets with Grant it cuz she defended Tiffany when Grant hit her in front of Courtney and Phil it was something to do with Louise and the social services could have taken her away from Phil but Phil didn't feel remorse at all for slapping his Mum.
Phil has been in EastEnders for so long that he used to have hair and be in decent shape. Crazy.
He's in better shape now than he was from 2002-2006.
33 years
@@j04370859he was in better shape between 2010-2015. Wdym now?
@@Grizzy2023 Yes, those years you mentioned to now. I clearly mentioned only the years when he was big.
10 years later, Phil hits Sharon in the Vic
Yeah because Sharon hit him first.
@@H.K.5 True
@@mickjones5937 what's the famous saying never take a Mitchell for a mug
That's a 'famous saying' is it?
@BlackHairSupremacy But he said here, "You don't hit women." Hit did slap Lisa, and she didn't hit him.
Fast forward a few years and Phil has himself smacked multiple women on the square including Sharon 😂
Phil the menace
Phil Mitchell: Tell you something. You lay one finger on her, you're dead.
Phil's such a hypocrite, he's hit women and kids himself lol
There was a time when Phil was physically stronger than Grant.
Never shorter smaller and never going to trouble grant who was ex military. Had a good dig on him esp the left hook but grant was the true nutter.

@@Uksoapfan Who would win in a straight fight… Dan or Grunt?
Phil was never stronger than Grant, and he was less of a hardman back then.
@@paulkenney-xl3kx Grunt was shorter than Gianni but won
2:30 Phil should've told him there. It was the perfect time, with tensions running high, I think.
Surprised Grant didn’t suss it out here tbh. Phil was giving the game away.
Phil & Grant should of been in Rise of the footsoldier & The Football Factory.
I can see why Sharon went with Phil at first
"You don't hit women ok Grant " Funny thing is Phil has hit Sharon , Kathy , Peggy , (tried to kill Stella) and Lisa along with Ben when he was a kid
🤣🤣🤣 when Phil hit Sharon it was ten years later
Phil hit Sharon twice in 2003 and 2015
Hit Kathy twice in 1996 and 2016
Hit lisa in 2000
Hit Mel In 2002
Hit Peggy in 2010. Phil has hit 5 woman in the face between 1996 to 2016.
In the early 90s phil was a good person, I don't know why he changed
@@nickohira1397 He became an alcoholic in the 90's, plus his big bust up with grant did a lot of damage to him.

Looks like Phil is now confronting his brother grant for assaulting Sharon
Woah really?😮
Phil you can't say much Hypocrite
Phil kicking the bin at 1:20 was hilarious.

Did Letitia Dean offend you personally or something?
Phil is a hypocrite .He hit his own mother and hit lisa
Best brothers by far
The irony of this now though! As Phil slapped Sharon a few times and got her attacked by thugs at The Albert bar, slapped Lisa, Kathy, Mel, Peggy
Phil and Grant have dramatically reversed their roles
Does anybody possibly know the song in the background in the pub.
1:18 I’m your BRUVVA
I liked how he came across as the vulnerable younger brother there.
Men don't beat up women
Is it ok for women to hit women and men to hit men? I dont understand this argument. Nobody should be hitting anyone. There are lots of women who are stronger than men.
Only cowards hit people who are physically weaker than them.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis ok, but why would a woman be weaker than a man? There are plenty of woman who are taller and more muscular/built than lots of men. That doesn't make any sense.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis Funny thing is, in real life, Ross was physically assaulted by his first wife. She swelled up his lip.
ps ps
The vast majority of the time, a man is stronger than a woman
