EastEnders' Phil makes unexpected decision after Nigel death in early iPlayer release

 The community remembers a friend.

EastEnders has aired the emotional aftermath of Nigel Bates’ death, as Julie grieves her beloved husband and Phil struggles to come to terms with the loss of his best friend. Yesterday’s moving episode saw Nigel sadly pass away in the care home, and thankfully Phil arrived just in time to say goodbye.

In the moments after Nigel’s death, today’s episode opened with a poignant sequence of largely silent scenes: Julie embracing her husband, Phil sitting outside processing his loss, Grant watching his son Mark sleep back at home, and Kat putting a blanket over Mo after her birthday party in The Vic.

The next morning, with the undertakers arriving for Nigel, Julie and Phil returned to Walford as the community found out the tragic news. The residents wanted a way to pay their respects, so Lexi suggested showing Nigel’s film again and Kat offered to screen it in The Vic.

Alfie welcomed Julie and Phil into the pub, which had been decorated in tribute to Nigel. Julie was deeply moved and gave an emotional speech, explaining that she now understands why Nigel chose to return to Walford after his dementia diagnosis.

She tried to thank Phil for everything he did for Nigel, but Phil looked uncomfortable and raised a toast to take the attention away from himself.

As the community enjoyed Nigel’s film again, Phil sat alone by the door of the pub, and his loved ones grew worried about his mental health. Linda attempted to reach out to him, but he swiftly pushed her away.

At the end of the film, some behind-the-scenes footage of Nigel and Phil played, showing their playful friendship. But this clip was the last straw for Phil and he went home by himself, rejecting his brother’s support.

Phil struggled when left with his own thoughts, and in a worrying scene, he picked up a lighter. He carried his armchair into the Square and set fire to it which scared his family – but Grant knew that this was Phil’s way of ‘setting fire’ to the fear that he would retreat back to a solitary life after Nigel’s death.

Inviting all his loved ones into his house for food, Phil put on one of Nigel’s favourite songs. As everyone started dancing in celebration of Nigel, Phil quietly thanked his old friend for helping him to move into a new, happier chapter of his life.

Rove McManus reveals heartbreaking family tragedy - as his A-List friends rush to his support: 'Our hearts are broken'

 Rove McManus has suffered a heartbreaking family tragedy, revealing his beloved dog has died.

The veteran presenter, 52, shared a heartbreaking gallery of photos to social media on Sunday, which featured some precious pictures of him and his pooch in happier times.

'Been sitting on this sad news for a while, wasn't ready to share. Two weeks ago, ten minutes before doors opened on my Melbourne Comedy Festival run, I received the devastating news that our dog Holly had tragically passed away,' Rove began.

'But the show must go on, as they say. She was a sweet, clever, loving, goofball of a dog who at age 8 was taken from us far too soon... made all the more painful that we weren't there to say goodbye.

'Our hearts are broken and we still miss her terribly. Rest well, beautiful girl.'

Many of Rove's celebrity friends took to the comments section to offer the Perth-born comedian their condolences.

'Noooo buddy. I'm so sorry,' wrote US singer Pink while Australian comedian Peter Helliar added: 'It’s just fkn horrible. Love to you and Tas & Ruby.'

'She's so beautiful. Sending the biggest hugs from our entire family. So sorry for your loss,' Bindi Irwin chimed in.

'Ohhhh mate, sorry to hear that. Lots of love to you all,' Larry Emdur wrote.

Meanwhile,  Home and Away veteran Sam Frost posted a broken heart emoji.

The three-time Gold Logie winner first rose to fame as the host of the Rove tonight show, which debuted on Channel Nine in 1999.

After the network axed the show, Rove found success at Channel 10, where his self-titled talk show ran for a decade. 

Around the time he was hosting his variety show, Rove met his first wife, Belinda Emmett, an actress known for her role on Home and Away.

Tragically, Belinda passed away from breast cancer in November 2006 at the age of 32, just 18 months after marrying Rove.

Following his wife's death, Rove opted to take some time out from the public eye.

However, he returned to TV the following year.

The comedian later found love again with actress Tasma Walton, whom he married in 2009, and the couple are parents to daughter Ruby, 12.

The TV host has won three Gold Logies for most popular personality on Australian screens in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

These awards were all given during his tenure on Channel Ten's Rove Live, which ran from 1999 - 2009.
