One of my favourite episodes of Eastenders but at the same time, so angry they killed Dennis off. Fantastic character.

[@BiignoseMiidget]

It was all Phil’s fault.

[@Kntr111]

Apparently the guy that played him wanted to be killed off as he wanted to leave. Sad that he left though! Hopefully one day they decide to bring him back from the dead like they did with Dirty Den!

[@Ironz89]

@@Kntr111impossible you saw him die on screen

[@MRJORD-gw1wc]

Two things I get from this, Phil was a great baddie back then, and Dennis should’ve never been killed off. They had a good young actor in Nigel who could’ve carried the show for years with his heritage in the show, or even came back sporadically a bit like Grant. This was a good period of EastEnders.

[@H.K.5]

Phil was always more of an anti-hero than a villain.

[@MRJORD-gw1wc]

@@H.K.5 For a short spell, he was an out an out villain.

[@H.K.5]

@@MRJORD-gw1wc I don't consider him an out and out villain because even though he can be cruel at times, he's shown he has a heart as well. Plus he's never intentionally killed anyone because he doesn't have it in him. He's definitely an anti-hero IMO

[@MRJORD-gw1wc]

@@H.K.5 depends what standards you’re comparing him to mate. There’s never been a character in EastEnders which didn’t have a heart.

[@katieboulton6568]

I never understood why sharon went back to phil after she found out he got dennis killed!

[@captain_morgan4462]

This scene should have ended with Dennis flooring Phil the way he did the first time they met. Getting in a taxi with Sharon and bidding Bon Voyage to Walford.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Steve McFadden should do threatening ASMR hardman videos. They'd be a big hit, I think.

[@jakebiomask]

Dennis was such a great character. So stupid to kill him off.

[@MaxwellKinghorror]

It was the actors idea

[@jakebiomask]

@@MaxwellKinghorror Nah, he left the show, but it was the producers decision to kill him off. I'm 100% sure he would have returned at some point if he wasn't dead.

[@MaxwellKinghorror]

@@jakebiomask nope do your research mate, nigel was the one that said he was leaving and that he was 100% certain he didn't wanna come back, so he suggested that Dennis be killed off.

[@jakebiomask]

@@MaxwellKinghorror do your research mate, thats what he claimed about 10+ years later, but at the time it actually happened he said in interviews that the decision was out of his hands.

Phil getting Dennis to do his dirty work on Johnny …. Just like he used Dennis to kill jack dalton

[@Senate300]

That's different. Jack Dalton originally sent Phil to do a hit on Dennis but decided against it and chose to warn him. It was Dennis's life or Jacks.

[@1977Suspiria]

@@Senate300 It was Phil's life too, Phil was also done for had Dennis not offed Dalton.

[@Senate300]

@@1977Suspiria Can you remind me why? Was it to do with Phil paying Julian to seduce Johnny's daughter, Ruby?

[@1977Suspiria]

@@Senate300 Phil was indebted to Dalton because Dalton agreed not to kill Kate after she went undercover at his club, Dalton called it in by ordering Phil to do a hit on Dennis. As Phil said himself to Dennis, if I don't kill you then Dalton will kill me for not carrying out the order. Phil had his life dependant on Dennis killing Dalton just as much as Dennis's life depended on it.

[@Senate300]

@@1977Suspiria Both their lives depended on Daltons death. It was on that same night Dennis found out Jack ordered the attempted hit on his father a decade before.

[@CarlGoddard89]

Legend of a actor

[@carlaconnor8347]

Dennis Rickman was the last best casting EE ever made. Everyone has sucked since. Except Max/Tanya and Ronnie/Roxy. But the casting department clearly needs firing. Dennis also never should’ve been killed off. Send him to prison for the attempted murder of Johnny Allen.

[@CarlGoddard89]

I strongly agree they shouldn't Have killed him off

[@callumbarrington898]

Sharon going back to Phil after finding out he was partially responsible for Dennis' death was a massive mistake. She's never loved him like she did Dennis.

[@ajaykazami]

Phil was so manipulative, look how he got inside Denise's head lol 😂

[@MrChoycey2a]

The manipulation from Phil here is tremendous 😅

[@Howdy606]

Would add some much needed drama in this program if they could somehow bring Dennis and Dan O'sullivan back to get revenge on Phil. I think they got rid of Dan as he was over shadowing Phil as he was more menacing and made Phil look weak.

[@CarlGoddard89]

Best scene ever

Why didn't Phil and Dennis team up on Johnny ?

Dennis the king 🤴

[@matthewpattison8611]

nice try Phil Mitchell but Dennis Rickman is not your son and he isn't like you but Dennis Rickman is Den Watts's son and if you ever touch Dennis Rickman ever again I'll make sure that Den Watts will be looking for you

[@sarahwynn6486]

Den watts died before this lol

[@AS-wj1du]

The nerve of Phil. No wonder Sharon cheated on him after he goaded Dennis into attacking Johnny. Worse, Dennis knew Phil was trying to get him to do his dirty work and shouldn't have fallen for it. He almost didn't until Phil told him Johnny attacked Sharon but he still shouldn't have fallen for it. When he got stabbed did he realise he shouldn't have let Phil trick him? Phil is the worst. Dennis tried to walk away about 5 times and Phil stopped him each time. Sharon should have killed Phil for that. Phil is evil for doing that, talking about next 50 years. At least Dennis would have been alive

[@RandomUploads-ch3bh]

Really wish Dennis hit Phil in this episode!

[@H.K.5]

He should’ve punched him after Phil had the audacity to say “we’re the same”.

[@RandomUploads-ch3bh]

@@H.K.5 Several occasions he should've punched him, though nowhere near as many as the episode (after) he caught Den in bed with Zoe! Change of name?

[@H.K.5]

@@RandomUploads-ch3bh I also hated that scene where Phil punches Dennis infront of Den, and Dennis does nothing about it. Den and Phil both treated Dennis like crap when he did them both a favour by getting rid of Dalton. I changed my handle but my channel name will always be called H.K I think. Don’t you think it’s time you changed yours, it’s not 2017 anymore lol. Not that I have a problem with it, but it would be cool if you changed your username every year like next year, you could be called “RandomUploads2024”.

[@markgenner1747]

[@thentherewas1167]

shame they got rid of Dennis it would have been nice if he had stayed long term then the show would have a hardman character who's actually capable of backing up his murder threats as opposed to Phil who is honestly a joke now with the amount of times the writers have chickened out of him actually murdering someone.

[@H.K.5]

If he stayed long term, we would’ve got Dennis vs Sean.

[@johnreeveswilliamson7228]

Why didn’t Phil offer to help Dennis if he wanted Johnny done in?

[@spencerreid2086]

because he's too much of a coward hence why Dennis had to kill Dalton before because Phil was shitting his pants at the idea.

[@Maroon498]

I know they killed him off but Dennis was so good of a character they need to figure out a way to bring him back like Den and Kathy. Amazing character Dennis he could carry the show for years in the same way Phil has. Eastenders has gone soft now. It’s literally everyone running around being a drama Queen. It needs a revitalised new era. Bring back Dennis!

[@spencerreid2086]

yeah it would have been better if Dennis stuck around long term and became the show's main Hardman/criminal character especially since he murdered Jack Dalton so not only would his murder threats not be cringe and empty like Phil's are. but him having the kinda reputation among other criminals that Phil seems to have in modern EE would actually make sense given he took out a big time mob boss.

[@Maroon498]

Yeah agree. I think he’ll come back after he finishes his casualty episodes as Max Christy. Nigel Harman was on a show just a while ago and he said never say never when asked about a return as Dennis. He seemed open to the idea. It would have to be a believable storyline but Eastenders can make it work. Maybe they could say he faked his death in order to protect Sharon and the baby from Johnny. That he got told Johnny wanted him killed so he wore protection as some kind of set up to get away from Walford. It’s possible. I like the whole like father like son concept too. 2025 would be 20 years since his return, similar to Den Watts when he returned 20 years later.

[@lillymay3989]

Now we're in 2022 what does everyone think of Phil now

[@davidashton7144]

I'm not entirely sure that Sean would win considering he got beaten by Phil and Jack. Dennis would wreck Sean especially after seeing him floor Phil and smashed the glasses in the process! What's more, Phil was still in his prime at that time and he got beaten. There was everyone thinking only Grant could beat Phil in his prime. For me the list goes: 1. Grant. 2. Dennis. 3. Phil. 4. Jack. 5. Sean.

[@huwevans9875]

Hate Phil so much. He manipulated Dennis when Dennis dropped his guard was happy, moving on even trying to shake Phil's hand showing how much he wanted to get away from the life. Phil couldn't let his so called best friend Sharon have a happily ever after and kept prodding and pushing, he knew telling Dennis would drive him insane. All this because Phil got mugged off and was too much of a coward to do anything to Johnny, Dalton. Dennis was one of the best, my favourite characters. Didn't want to watch after this.
