Grant Mitchell is back in EastEnders for its 40th anniversary, promising drama and excitement for fans after an eight-year absence
Birmingham: So, guess what? Grant Mitchell is making a big comeback to EastEnders! After being away for eight years, Ross Kemp is stepping back into his iconic role just in time for the show’s 40th anniversary. How cool is that?
Grant has been a key player in the drama since he first showed up in 1990. He and his brother Phil, played by Steve McFadden, have been at the center of some wild storylines. They’re like the ultimate soap duo!
Things have been pretty rough for the Mitchell family lately. They’ve dealt with some heavy losses and even had family members on the run. Right now, Phil is struggling with loneliness and has been isolating himself from everyone.
And it’s not just Phil who’s back in the mix. Nigel Bates, an old friend, is also returning, which hints at some juicy secrets about his past. The EastEnders team is keeping tight-lipped about why Grant is back, but they promise some explosive moments when the anniversary episodes air in February.
Since leaving the show in 2016 after his on-screen mother Peggy passed away, Grant has been living it up in Portugal. His return is set to be a short stint, but fans are buzzing with excitement.
Ross has teased that Grant will “come back with a bang,” and there’s definitely some serious action on the way in Albert Square. He’s super excited to return, especially with the show hitting such a big milestone. It’s a real honor for him.
Soap boss Chris Clenshaw is just as thrilled about Ross’s return. He’s promised that the anniversary and Grant’s comeback will be something fans won’t want to miss. Sounds like we’re in for a treat!
