Phil Mitchell Hits Grant Mitchell (1998)

[@liamwilliams7204]

Back when EastEnders had great, pure and realistic characters that had real, proper storylines. I always sit in front of the TV watching EastEnders every evening when it was on. That to me has to be the best pastime ever.

What a punch by Phil on grant

[@zacpanther6364]

I don't why these two never tried to get into films. Their acting is great

[@evanmiller2562]

I think Grant did

[@stitcha123]

😂😂😂😂 their acting is pony

[@H.K.5]

Ross Kemp played Scrooge in the 2000 Christmas Carol, which was a fantastic but underrated movie.

[@jordanastro4694]

Agreed. Steve McFadden especially, his acting whilst drunk is top notch and hilarious.

[@maverickmic]

Compared to Danny Dyer and he was in a lot of films@@stitcha123

[@davidfos84]

By this point Grant was starting to grow up, Phil was regressing. They essentially swapped roles in the show around this time.

[@Ltforlife22]

It makes sense of some weird way, Phil had to play the part for his mums sake while his brother and his dad were the hotheads of the family. Once his dad passed and grant grew and began a life of his own he felt he had to embody the two of them to not only protect Peggy but his kids, because that’s all he’s known and the more people left him over time the worse he got.

[@celinemongan6241]

Grant:it was just a lucky shot that's all lolololololol😂😂😂😂

[@H.K.5]

It was a lucky shot.

[@acceptableandbornind80s32]

Phil could do that any time he wants

[@BelJbraithwaite22]

Phil: do you think we gonna get in trouble do you Grant: so what if we do we have been in trouble before

[@paulfrost8895]

If Grant had chosen to counter attack he would have battered Phil ' cos their brothers he let it go ' as you saw it didn 't make much of an impact ' he recovered in seconds ' just surprise element.

[@MJQueenForever]

THESE TWO! 😂😂😂😂😂 ROSS PLEASE GO BACK FOR GOOD! We've already lost the ultimate double act in Peggy and Pat 😢 "WELL COME ON THEN, HIT ME!" BANG. Grant falls over. "YOU HIT ME" "Well you gonna hit me again? Cos if you are, I'm staying down here" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Later.. G: I still can't believe you hit me! P: You told me to! G: I didn't mean HIT ME, hit me! P: Well you shouldn't have said it then should ya! Later still... G: I still can't believe you hit me. P: Alright don't keep going on about it... I remember thinking they were actually bruvvas when I was little. The way they looked yeah, but how they squabbled like two of my brothers did (who looked similar to them... And I have only just realised they had the same names after 25 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂)

He is, Grant has never been floored apart from this scene and Grant would beat Phil in a proper fight.

[@rankingtrevor]

Classic. From an era when this show was good and 'proper East end'. Before the political correctness and shitty acting of the 2000s

[@enigma7784]

[@clairelally5236]

There is a just such a deep poetic irony in Grant telling Phil that Kathy deserved better. Has he forgotten about how he treated Sharon?

[@AmeliaCharlotte1212]

Claire Lally Exactly what I thought😒.

[@JD-rv7sf]

oh you people and your soapies

[@charlottesmith1434]

Phil slept with Sharon because he had feelings her, Grant slept with Kathy out of spite🤷🏼‍♀️.

[@abseiduk]

No not true. He loved her.

Phil was always the tougher of the two but was a lot quieter. He only became a nastier character when Grant left. He had lost Kathy, Grant and his son. He didn't have to be smart or quiet anymore.

[@alfiemoon2516]

Only time grant really lost to people is when someone punch him and he didn't hit them back or when he wasn't expecting it. Don't think anyone really beats him in a one on one fight. When him and Phil fought in 1999 grant wasn't really trying and he took phil punch to the head that day to.
