| - Upon the departure of his brother Grant Mitchell in October 1999, Phil Mitchell, having been betrayed by Grant and his life left in tatters, developed a more menacing side to his personality, also bought on upon the emigration to South Africa of the love of his life Kathy Beale, whom Grant had snatched from Phil knowing Phil wanted a reconciliation with Kathy and another chance to be with his son Ben Mitchell. Due to this, being betrayed by his brother and losing 2 other important people in his life, plus the fact that his mother Peggy Mitchell not saying a word against Grant, Phil gradually turned more nasty starting in very late 1999 and he got nastier during 2000, insulting his girlfriend Lisa. Steve Owen was due to marry Melanie Healy on 1 March 2001, but found out that she had slept with Phil Mitchell — one of his deadliest enemies — and refused to pick up the telephone in his office when she left a message on his answer phone. Steve later had a change of heart and decided to go ahead with the wedding. Steve's mother Barbara arrived at the registry office to attend her son's wedding, and took an immediate dislike to Mel. Barbara also took a shine to Phil Mitchell. Phil drunk most of the wine and insulted Lisa in fron of the guests. When the wedding guests returned to the Queen Victoria for the wedding reception, Barbara told Mel about Steve's first girlfriend who had cheated on him at the age of 16. Barbara implied that Mel was that sort of girl. Dan Sullivan re-appeared in Albert Square that evening and demanded money from Phil, who had always despised him for leaving him with just £5 when selling his stake in the Queen Vic. Ian Beale started to question Phil about his fling with Mel (who was briefly Ian's wife). Phil told Ian that Mel was good, but not as good as his mother (Kathy, who was once Phil's wife). Phil said that Lisa is soiled goods and needs help in the bedroom department. Phil then left the e20 nightclub and Ian followed him out, taunting him. Ian picked up a metal rod to intimidate Phil, who lost his temper and began to throttle Ian with the rod, and only stopped when Mel shouted for him to stop. Phil returned home, drunk. A coupe of hours later it was night time and he received a hoax phone call from an anonymous caller. Dan was then seen walking away from a nearby telephone box. The scene returned to Steve's office, where we found that Steve's gun had disappeared from the drawer where it was being kept. As the wedding reception drew to a close, Barbara finally lost her temper with Mel and branded her a tart. Before leaving, she stubbed her cigarette out on the wedding cake. Steve and Mel jumped into Charlie Slater's taxi and were ready to depart for the airport to begin their honeymoon, but Steve went back to ensure that Billy Mitchell was keeping everything under control at e20. Steve returned minutes later and he and Mel headed off for the airport. Phil's doorbell rang and he went to answer it. He opened the door and found nobody there, he thought it was just kids playing knock down ginger, but as he turned around to re-enter his house, he was shot in the back and fell down the steps. Someone had been hiding in the shrubbery of the Square gardens and shot him. A very dazed and confused Phil lifted his head up and saw the assailant running away into the night. Phil was found minutes later by Beppe di Marco. He was semi conscious and had lost a lot of blood. Anthony Trueman, a local doctor was called to tend Phil while the ambulance arrived. Mark Fowler was stood nearby nd walked up to the scene. And Ian Beale was stood in the square gardens, his aunty Pauline saw him. Dan had left the scene, and Lisa was back home. She threw up when she was told that Phil had been shot. Phil was rushed to hospital and doctors performed an emergency operation to remove the bullet. They told Phil's mother Peggy that there was no guarantee that Phil would recover. Ian Beale even hoped Phil would die as no one liked him. Jim Branning said it is no wonder Phil got shot the way he carried on. The police later visited Ian Beale in his fish and chip shop, but they left after he told them to go and question Steve Owen — who is now at Heathrow Airport waiting for a flight to the Caribbean.
