New owner of Peggy’s revealed as Phil Mitchell makes major decision in EastEnders
THE new owner of wine bar Peggy’s will be revealed in upcoming EastEnders scenes.
Owner Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) is set to make a decision about the establishment’s future.
Having owned the bar since 2022, the hardman decides to sell the place on.
Phil’s relative Teddy (Roland Manookian) emerges as an interested buyer in scenes yet to air.
Teddy informs of his son Harry (Elijah Holloway) about his plan to buy Peggy’s and become a respectable businessman.
This is to impress Harry’s brother – and Teddy’s younger son – Barney (Lewis Bridgeman).
In the meantime, Teddy tasks Harry with finding out what went on when Barney visited their mum.
However, Harry’s heavy-handed approach leaves Barney even more isolated and Teddy in despair.
Phil’s sister Sam (Kim Medcalf) named the bar after his late mother – following a similar pattern to the owner before him.
The establishment was known as Ruby’s while under the ownership of Ruby Allen (Louisa Lytton).
Earlier this year, it was confirmed Ruby will be making a return to the BBC soap.
Could swoop in and reclaim her former business?
In August, Peggy’s had a central role in a major storyline when a terrifying club crush took place.
The incident occurred as customers broke through the queue, leading to a dangerously overcrowded club.
Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine), the manager, struggled to sell tickets for her club night.
She desperately urged her staff to do whatever it took to ensure a “sell-out” night.
However, Penny’s employee and stepsister Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) put extra tickets on the website in a bid to ruin the club night, but with little thought of the consequences.
