East Enders Off Set Episodes - 2003

2003

• Phil Mitchell, Lisa Fowler and Louise Mitchell in Portugal

This was screened after it actually was supposed to have occurred in the serial time-line. It was based in late 2002, as Phil revealed all to undercover cop, Kate. The episodes were played in flashback scenes.

Having followed Lisa and Louise to Portugal, Phil employed the services of Dom who tracked her down. Despite a change of heart on Dom's side, Phil had the information he needed and headed to her flat where he broke in and stole their passports. When Phil confronted her, he asked her to get Louise and promised to leave her be, once he'd seen his daughter. Lisa knew better though and fled, hoping to run off to Lisbon to find Mel. After a hot car pursuit through the cliff side routes, Lisa was forced to abandon her car and was faced with an unpleasant choice: Phil or at cliff edge.

Phil undermined her confidence in herself. He said she was an unfit mother who needed professional help. He left with baby Louise, leaving Lisa devastated.

• Barry Evans, Janine Evans, Paul Trueman, Zoe Slater, Kelly Taylor, Kareena Ferreira, Tariq Larousi, Mickey Miller, Ronny Ferreira, Martin Fowler, Gus Smith, Spencer Moon, Sonia Fowler and Wellard headed off to Scotland.

The cast and crew filmed scenes at the Loch Fyne Hotel and Leisure Club in Inveraray, Argyll. Much of the outside scenes were shot on a private estate called The Arkinglass Estate in Cairndow, while the wedding suite was actually really located in Grim's Dyke Hotel, Harrow Weald, North London.

After months of Janine leading Barry on, they headed to Scotland to get married. But when she revealed the truth, they ended up scuffling and he fell over a cliff. Heartlessly, she watched him die.

Meanwhile, the others crashed their van and ended up stranded. Kelly and Zoe kissed, whilst Tariq revealed Dan Ferreira is his father.
