December 9th 2024.
In Monday's episode of EastEnders, fans were in for a surprise as Joe Swash made a comeback as the beloved Mickey Miller. It has been 13 years since Swash's character last appeared on the show, and his unexpected return has delighted Walford residents.
The episode, which is now available to watch on BBC iPlayer, sees Mickey arriving at Walford East in a suit, just like old times. He catches up with his former friends, including Mo Harris who is eager to know what he has been up to. To everyone's surprise, Mickey reveals that he now runs a successful chain of BnBs called Miller's Villas.
Mickey's return was prompted by the potential closure of Bridge Street market. Wanting to help out, he generously makes a donation and offers to take photos for Mo's fundraising calendar. However, there is one problem - Mo needs a man for the December page. That's when Kim Fox comes up with a solution, suggesting Mickey as the perfect candidate.
For long-time viewers, this comeback may bring back fond memories as Mickey first appeared on the show in 2003. He quickly became a fan favorite and his family, the Millers, were introduced soon after. Over the course of four years, the Millers were involved in many storylines and became a force to be reckoned with in Walford.
Mickey was last seen on the show in 2011, when he returned for a few episodes as part of his brother Darren's exit storyline. Swash, who also returned to host a behind-the-scenes special last year, has always had a soft spot for EastEnders. In an interview, he expressed his love for the show and the nostalgia he feels when he returns to the set.
This year, EastEnders has been bringing back several legendary characters as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations. These include Michael French and Tracy-Ann Oberman. Don't forget to tune in to BBC One at 7:30pm or stream the episode on BBC iPlayer at 6am, and let us know what you think of Mickey's return. We'd love to hear from you!
