Eastenders fans think Phil Mitchell will MURDER Ray Kelly after bigamist threatens him
It's not looking good for the Irish conman after he threatened the Square's hardest resident
EAGLE eyed viewers of Eastenders began speculating about Phil Mitchell's next victim after Ray Kelly threatened him in last night's episode.
The bigamist, who is set to marry soap returnee Mel Owen in episodes which will be aired over New Year, issued the threats after his bid for Phil's share of the club was initially refused.
Calling an unknown source for insider knowledge on Phil's past, it seems Ray had managed to muster up some dirt on his rival as he confronted him for a second time about the death of Luke Browning and the disappearance of Vincent Hubbard.
After Ray revealed what dirt he had on Phil so that he would renegotiate the deal, it was clear that the hard man was not impressed by his tactics.
Phil asked: "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Ray replied: "I believe it's called shooting fish in a barrel, but I'm a fair man."
He added: "Four hundred grand for your half of the club?"
But Phil was having none of it and argued that he should receive "six hundred grand" for his half in the business.
Giving Phil an antagonistic smile, Ray replied: "I'd shake your hand, but I know you don't do that."
Much to Ray's surprise, Phil later went to shake his hand, however ended up punching him in the stomach and restraining him.
"Don't you ever, ever, come in my house and threaten me again. Do you understand? Phil shouted.
He continued: "What you think you know you don't and it's what you don't know you want to worry about."
Ray, who was in pain, was seen swiftly exiting the house as Phil told him to 'get out while he could still chew his own food.'
In a later scene he was spotted having an intimate chat with Phil's daughter Louise Mitchell as she confides in him following news about her mum.
However, following the altercation many fans took to Twitter to voice their predictions on Ray's fate after he messed the notorious soap baddie.
One wrote: "Does Ray know what he's doing? Nobody takes on Phil Mitchell lives? #eastenders"
Another joked: "Foolish man Ray. Never threaten Phil Mitchell! you have a lot to learn.."

The pair are later spotted, alongside Mel's son Hunter, as the action escalates.
