The BBC One soap is promising that "long-held secrets will come to light as Vincent and a drunken Phil come to blows," The Radio Times stated.
When asked about the storyline recently, actor Richard commented: "The feud between the Mitchells and the Hubbards is set to reach epic proportions. It’s been building for months and now so it’s going to reach breaking point.
"Phil is making things personal and goes for Vincent’s family and that is the one thing Vincent can’t take and it pushes him to his limits."

The 43-year-old added: "Vincent will do anything to protect his family and decides enough is enough. He's no way going to let Phil get away with what he has done. He wants revenge."
Richard made his first appearance in the long-running drama back in February, and Vincent's connections with many of the other characters have slowly been revealed ever since.
EastEnders continues tonight on BBC One at 7.30pm.
