    1:33 and 2:26 he looks soooo much like actual Phil/Steve McFadden! Great casting!!

    They casted young Phil Mitchell really well as the actor playing him is like a mini Steve McFadden and I think they did well with casting young billy as he has some traits about him that resembles Perry fenwick
