EastEnders: Phil warns of a 'bloodbath' if Aidan finds the thief
Sharon Mitchell (played by Letitia Dean) confessed to Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite) that she took the cash from right under her husband Phil’s (Steve McFadden) nose.
Trying to find out the truth about the loot, Mel pressed: “You’ve out up with a lot from Phil Mitchell - his womanising, drinking, dodgy deals.
“And, at the end of the day, you deserve to know that you’re going to be looked after.
“But Phil was never going to do that, was he? He’s too busy thinking about his legacy to think about you. Well, screw him. Screw Phil Mitchell. No one does that to you, no one.”

Feeling smug, Sharon hit back: “No! No they don’t.
“He took the money,” Mel replied.
But she was not prepared for Sharon’s response as she confessed: “No, I took it. I took it from right under his nose.”
It came after bookmakers Betfair revealed that they had slashed the odds on Sharon and Phil Mitchell stealing the money to just 1/3 with Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris) a close second at 7/1.
Meanwhile, Vincent was priced at 10/1, Keanu was slated to be thief at 10/1 and odds on Aidan keeping the money for himself were at 20/1.
Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) followed close behind at 25/1, while Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) was slated at 33/1 and Keegan Baker (Zack Morris) at 50/1.
The soap heavily hinted that Sharon and Phil have the money in Thursday night’s episode.
They could be seen chatting in hushed tones in the Arches, with Sharon fearing what Aidan will do when he finds the culprit.
Phil warned her there would be a “bloodbath” when his former cell mate finds out the truth.
