They had seen Phil zip into the square in his car. On Phil's first ever visit to Albert Square, just feet away, Rod Norman and Harry Osbourne were sitting in the Square gardens. Phil Mitchell first arrived in Walford to open an automobile repair shop, known as The Arches. Phil worked on the lorries for a time where he met Minty Peterson. In the late 1970s, Grant joined the army. Phil was always the calmer Mitchell brother but both had thuggish tendencies. Eric stopped abusing Phil when Phil eventually hit him back knocking him out cold, Peggy called the police on Eric for his abuse and he was arrested. Peggy tried to save her marriage by having another child in 1975 her only daughter Sam. Peggy considered leaving when her sons, Phil and Grant, were teenagers, and once even tried to seduce Johnny Allen, but he turned her down. Phil use to go school scared stiff that teachers would see the bruises. One time when Phil was about twelve, during the middle of the night, Phil was asleep, his father came stumbling into Phil's bedroom and he punched Phil in the stomach without a reason. Nigel was naive, so the Mitchell brothers sorted out anyone who tried to pick on Nigel. At school they became best friends with Nigel Bates, who the Mitchell's saw as a brother to them. Phil and Grant could be wayward, and often got into scrapes. This lead Phil to be hurt that he was singled out for abuse by his dad. Phil was abused a lot by his alcoholic father Eric, who rarely touched Grant. His brother Grant Mitchell was born on the 8th July 1962. Phillip James Mitchell was born on the 20th January 1961, the eldest child of Eric Mitchell and Peggy Mitchell (Nee Martin). Phil and his brother Grant with their childhood friends Nigel and Ricky on holiday. Phil has also escaped death countless times with a total of twelve attempts ranging from car crashes, accidents and health issues, you name it Phil has survived it all as well as surviving several murder attempts.

During his time on the show Phil has caused the deaths of five people with four of them being unintentional. Over the years Phil has somewhat built a 'empire' from being just a dodgy criminal to a full time Gangster, Phil has committed many crimes such as countless assaults, robberies, money laundering, manslaughter and attempted murders. However Ian was wind up merchant to Phil the majority of the time and always deliberately grassed on Phil, and meddled in his marriage to Kathy, so Phil's bullying is more retaliation. His bullying of former stepson Ian Beale is often done as a means of deriving pleasure. Phil has occasionally shown sadistic traits. He became much more violent and hot headed but, unlike Grant, he still some what occasionally showed restraint when dealing with various enemies encountered – exacting revenge over time, using mind games or getting others to do his dirty work, amongst other things. Phil was originally the one who often thought things through, and was seen to be the more streetwise of the two, often bailing his more spontaneous brother out of trouble however by the late 90s to early 2000s Phil was later driven down a darker, more destructive route. Phil was originally the calmer brother of the Mitchell's as his younger brother Grant was more the hot headed one in their early days but both brothers had a sense of physical danger, displaying stereotypical masculinity, thuggish behaviour and a tendency to resolve problems through violence and began to be the local hardmen on Albert Square.
