Grant Mitchell is making his way back to Albert Square as EastEnders gears up for its 40th anniversary.
Ross Kemp, who first joined the soap nearly 35 years ago, will reprise his role as the iconic Grant Mitchell. Known for his fiery relationships with brother Phil, late mother Peggy, and countless residents of Walford, Grant’s return promises explosive drama.
Speaking about his comeback, Ross said: ‘I’m delighted to be returning to EastEnders as the show heads towards its 40th anniversary. EastEnders has always meant so much to me, so to return as the show is about to celebrate such a special anniversary, is an absolute honour. Grant has never been far from the action and let’s just say, this time is no different as he certainly comes back with a bang.’
Grant’s arrival couldn’t come at a more turbulent time. With Phil battling his demons, Nigel back on the Square, and Sharon entangled with Grant’s long-lost cousin Teddy, sparks are set to fly.
Executive Producer Chris teased: ‘We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Ross Kemp back to EastEnders as he reprises the legendary role of Grant Mitchell. Whilst I’m not currently revealing exactly what brings Grant back to Walford, I can say that his return will play a significant part in the show’s 40th anniversary, and will make up many moments of truly unmissable TV.’
