Requested 7/8/2008 Highlights #2/6 - Mitchell Family History of Abuse Continues

[@daedelous7094]

Watching this after the Flashback episode.....it's chilling.

[@luckykeyring]

weird to hear archie say all these things after he abused his own daughter himself

[@evanmiller2562]

One word: Hypocrite

[@brunodacruz5402]

Archie is a hypocrite

[@hassantumbo6616]

Yeah according to this, its said that he, Eric (Phil's dad), and his other brother was abused by their father, (Phil's Grandfather)

[@sambrown2322]

The irony.
Both Archie and Eric then went on to become the clone of their old man, they've both done the unthinkable so many times.
Eastenders barely mentions the other brother Clive though, about time that the Mitchell family extends even further in Eastenders

Archie tells Phil about him and Eric's abusive childhood, how their dad beaten and abused them as well

[@paulyb7267]

Phil only laid a finger on his children once, after he caught Ben trying to burn Louise with a spoon. Phil was very vicious during the years 1996-2003 and if Ben had lived with Phil during those years then it's highly likely that Phil would've done way worse to Ben then what Eric ever did to Phil, luckily Ben was in South Africa during Phil's vicious years.
