Ross Kemp is back as Grant Mitchell, promising explosive drama in EastEnders’ 40th anniversary episodes
London: Big news for EastEnders fans! Grant Mitchell is making a comeback to Albert Square. The BBC confirmed this exciting return on January 1.
Ross Kemp is stepping back into his iconic role as Grant, just in time for the show’s 40th anniversary. It’s been eight years since we last saw him, and he’s been living it up in Portugal.
Since Grant first appeared in 1990, he’s been part of some unforgettable storylines, especially with his brother Phil. They’ve had their fair share of ups and downs, including the loss of their beloved mum, Peggy.
Recently, Phil has been going through a tough time, isolating himself and showing signs of depression. It’s a heavy storyline that’s got everyone talking.
Now, the brothers are set to reunite in Walford, and it’s bound to be emotional. Plus, their old mate Nigel is back too, adding to the drama.
EastEnders bosses have hinted that Grant’s return will lead up to some explosive moments in the anniversary episodes. They’re keeping the details under wraps, but fans can expect some serious action.
After Peggy’s death, Grant left in September 2016. Now, he’s back for a short stint to reconnect with Phil and Nigel. He’ll also find out that his ex-wife Sharon is dating his cousin Teddy. Talk about drama!
Ross is super excited about his return, saying it’s an honor to come back as the show celebrates such a milestone. He promises fans that Grant will definitely make a splash.
Chris Clenshaw, the executive producer, is thrilled too. He’s not spilling the beans on why Grant is back, but he assures us it’ll be a significant part of the anniversary celebrations.
Don’t forget, EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30 PM on BBC One and iPlayer. You won’t want to miss it!
