EastEnders fans were horrified tonight after Ben Mitchell appeared to murder his defenceless dad Phil in his hospital bed.
The Walford hardman, played by Steve McFadden, was left in a coma after getting his head bashed in by Stacey Slater.
Phil was having a tussle with Martin Fowler after he threatened Kat when Stacey jumped in and slammed a wrench into his skull.
Ben walked in on the chaos and ordered them out, brandishing a gun as he set on framing Keanu, who he had discovered had replaced him on Phil's will.
Tonight, however, Ben was furious when almost everyone in Albert Square was convinced that he had tried to kill his dad anyway.
Filled with rage, he turned up at the hospital to see his dad on life support.
Ben glared menacingly as his dad before making his way to Phil's bedside.
"Everyone thinks I did this to you," he said. "So why don't I just finish the job?"
Taking a deep breath, Ben reached out to one of the tubes from his life support and began to squeeze.
"Chip off the old block after all," Ben said shakily before leaning in and snarling. "Are you proud of me now, dad?"
Has Ben really just killed Phil?!
