Upcoming episodes of the soap see Phil involved in a horrifying car accident which will leave him fighting for his life.
Steve McFadden as Phil Mitchell
The accident paves the way for Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell) to arrive back in Walford for a one-off episode.
However, McFadden has backed Ross Kemp, who played Phil's brother Grant on and off from 1999 to 2006, to return to the show as well.
McFadden told the Radio Times : "I do remember somebody telling me that there had been a writers' meeting and it was tabled as to whether or not Phil could survive without Grant.
"I was surprised that they were thinking about this because I believed he could. But that's how much of a duo they were thought of.
"And while time has moved on and we've proved that Phil can survive on his own, I am up for Ross coming back. It would certainly be interesting."

Ratings for EastEnders have fallen in recent months, but McFadden insisted that he is not worried about the future of the show.
"It's not my problem, thank God. I wouldn't want that responsibility," he said.
"I think acting is like dancing: you bring in your clogs, do your dance and then finish and forget about it.
"I take the show seriously and commit to it 100%, but I don't get drawn into all that. I like the clarity of coming in and doing my bit."
