EastEnders Ned turns to Phil Mitchell as desperate money problems deepen
Ned turns to Phil for help in EastEnders as mounting debts leave him desperate to track down a mysterious former business associate.
Ned's financial problems are set to deepen in upcoming EastEnders scenes as he desperately searches for a way to rebuild his family's life. With his options narrowing, he eventually turns to Phil in the hope that an old business connection could provide a solution.
Ned is heavily in debt and increasingly concerned about how he can improve the situation. Rather than accepting defeat, he begins thinking about somebody from his past who might be able to help him escape his financial problems.
The person in question is described as an old business associate. Ned believes making contact could potentially solve his money troubles, but there is a major obstacle because he does not know how to find them.
That is where Phil comes in. Ned believes Phil might be able to help track the person down, leading him to approach him as he searches for a way out of his increasingly difficult situation.
The identity of Ned's old business associate is not revealed in the information released for the upcoming scenes. There is also no confirmation that the unnamed person will appear in Walford, so any suggestion that the storyline guarantees a returning or new character would currently be speculation.
What is clear is that Ned believes the mysterious contact could be important to his family's future. Whether Phil can actually help him find the person remains another question entirely.
