Could Phil Mitchell be set to return to The Queen Vic — this time as its owner? EastEnders fans are speculating about a major change at Walford’s most famous pub.
The Queen Vic has been at the heart of Albert Square for decades, but viewers are wondering whether its current landlords, Kat and Alfie Moon, could be heading for a difficult future.
Online speculation has suggested that the couple could face financial trouble, potentially opening the door for Phil Mitchell to make a move on his former pub.
Phil has a long history with The Vic, and the idea of him taking control again has already sparked discussion among fans.
However, there is currently no confirmed announcement that Phil is planning to buy the pub, and the claims about the couple’s finances should be treated as rumour rather than established storyline fact.
There is also a wider question about who could be behind the bar if Kat and Alfie were to step away. With the Hawkins family now part of Walford, some viewers have been discussing whether they could become involved in the pub’s future.
The speculation comes amid a difficult period for Kat and Alfie, whose relationship has been under serious strain following Zoe’s tragic death.
Could the latest troubles signal the end of their time at The Queen Vic, or will the pair find a way to save their future together?
Who would you like to see running The Queen Vic next — Phil Mitchell, the Hawkins family, or Kat and Alfie staying put?
