Ross Kemp, best known for his role as Grant Mitchell, is rumored to be making a return to EastEnders for the show's 40th anniversary. However, it seems that he won't be reprising his role as the Walford hard man. Instead, he will be fronting a special documentary that will showcase the soap's biggest moments throughout the years.
According to a source, Ross is thrilled to be a part of the celebrations and will be interviewing past and present stars of the show. The documentary will explore why EastEnders is so beloved and its significance in the world of television. It's clear that the show holds a special place in Ross's heart and he's excited to be a part of this milestone event.
Fans have been eagerly anticipating Ross's return to Albert Square as Grant, who first appeared on the show in 1990 alongside his brother Phil. While Phil has remained a mainstay on the show, Grant left Walford in 1999. However, Ross did make a couple of guest appearances in 2005 and 2016, the latter being a part of his on-screen mother Peggy Mitchell's final storyline. Since then, Ross has become known for his hard-hitting documentaries, covering topics such as gangs and reporting from dangerous locations like Afghanistan.
Despite speculation about a possible return to EastEnders, Ross has remained tight-lipped about his involvement in the show. During a recent appearance on This Morning, he was asked about a potential comeback, to which he replied, "I can tell you nothing. I wouldn't have had a career, good or bad, without it." It's clear that EastEnders holds a special place in Ross's heart and has played a significant role in his career.
While Ross may not be returning as Grant, fans can still look forward to seeing some familiar faces on the show's 40th anniversary. Patsy Palmer will be reprising her role as Bianca Jackson for a guest stint, and Michael French will also be making a comeback as David Wicks. Louisa Lytton will also be back as Ruby Allen, a character who was referenced by Chrissie Watts in last week's episodes, confirming a popular fan theory.
In addition to these returning stars, EastEnders will also be airing a special live episode to mark its 40th anniversary. Viewers will have the opportunity to vote on a storyline, and the actors will have to react to the outcome in real-time. It's an exciting concept that is sure to get fans talking.
