EastEnders viewers left confused by Phil Mitchell murder mix-up storyline
EASTENDERS viewers have complained that they are confused by the latest Walford plot.
EastEnders: Phil admits he KILLED Jay's dad
The BBC soap saw Phil Mitchell (played by Steve McFadden) admit to killing Jay's (Jamie Borthwick) dad in last night's episode.
Phil revealed all after handing over the £300,00 car lot to Jay after feeling guilty for several years.
Jase (Stephen Lord) was killed in 2008 by football gang leader Terry Bates (Nicholas Ball) after rescuing his son from a kidnapping attempt and being beaten to death by Terry’s friends.
Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) saved Jay along with Jase, and has looked after him ever since.

EastEnders: Phil burns down the car lot in classic clip
It's where I did it okay, it's where I killed him. It's where I killed your dad
The latest episode saw Jay push Phil and ask: "What are you so guilty about? What's it got to do with the car lot?"
Phil told him: "It's where I did it okay, it's where I killed him. It's where I killed your dad."
Phil has only ever killed one person on the soap, accidentally killing a homeless man after setting fire to the car lot in 1994.
However, viewers are confused and believe that the writers have muddled up two murders.
