Shirley and Phil, the couple, for unknown reasons, we just can’t help but root for, have been on and off for longer than we can remember.
But most recently, with Phil seemingly getting serious with Sharon, it looked like he and Shirley would never work things out.
Or will they? In an episode due to be aired this week, Phil comes to Shirley’s rescue after she deals with her problems with a bit too much to drink.
Shirley’s son Dean is also back this week and, when things between them don’t quite go how she imagined, Shirley hits the bottle.
A passing Phil sees his ex in a state and stops to help her. See everyone, Phil does have a heart. But Shirley responds by trying to kiss him.
The question is, of course, is how will Phil react to Shirley’s advances? Will he remember he currently has a girlfriend, or will he do we all secretly want him to and get back together with Shirley?
The couple split for good when it was revealed that Phil’s son Ben killed Shirley’s best mate Heather, and Phil helped to cover it up. But we all saw how choked up she got when Phil came to the rescue of one of Lady Di’s puppies.
Perhaps Shirley has finally forgiven Phil. If she has, she’s going to have a tough time getting Sharon out of the way.
This episode will air on Friday 16th May. Would you like to see Shirley and Phil back together? Let us know via the comments box below.
