Phil Wheeler

Phil Wheeler was a jeweller who visited Underworld to show wedding rings to Jenny Bradley and Eva Price in June 2017.

Phil flirted with Eva during the meeting by telling her to call her Phil and complimenting her fingers by calling them 'dainty digits'. Jenny agreed to buy two wedding rings from Phil but declined his offer of inscriptions, saying that she'd prefer to have the £100 in her bank account.

As he was going to leave, Eva asked Phil if he was free for a drink at the Rovers during her lunch hour. Phil thought she was asking him on a date and said he'd be delighted to.

At the Rovers, Phil was still under the impression that Eva fancied him after she spoke of how as soon as she saw him, she knew what she wanted from life. In reality, Eva was referring to when Phil placed the ring on her finger and that she now knew she wanted to marry her boyfriend Aidan Connor.

Eva asked a disappointed Phil to make up a story about splitting up from a relationship with Aidan and then change the conversation to jewellery in the hope that it may persuade him to a wedding ring. During their chat, Aidan realised that Phil's story about his wife was a lie and that their conversation had been a ploy from Eva.

Aidan decided to buy his mistress Maria Connpr an ankle bracelet from Phil but asked him if he could keep quiet about the purchase and not mention it to Eva. Phil returned to Underworld later that day but he only brought the rings that Aidan's dad Johnny had purchased, much to Eva's disappointment.
