Next on the agenda for Danny Dyer, the former star of EastEnders, is a possible return to the beloved BBC soap opera. As part of the show's 40th anniversary celebrations next year, the 47-year-old actor has expressed his willingness to reprise his role as Mick Carter, who was presumed dead after going missing on Christmas 2022.
In the years since Mick's disappearance, viewers have seen his wife, Linda, struggle with her grief and turn to alcohol once again. Things only worsened when her abuser, Dean Wicks, returned to Albert Square, and she later found herself in a shocking situation as an unlikely murderer when she impaled Keanu Taylor with a meat thermometer to stop him from attacking her best friend, Sharon Watts.
With Mick's body never being found, fans have been speculating about his potential return to Walford, and Danny himself has not ruled it out. He even made a playful remark about it while on stage at the National Television Awards last month. Currently, Danny is busy starring in the new Disney+ series, Rivals, but he still has his eyes on a possible comeback to EastEnders.
In fact, during an interview on the KISS Breakfast Radio Show, Danny admitted that he would love to return for the 40th anniversary episode, but he has not been contacted by the show's producers yet. Despite his previous comment at the NTAs being a joke, he still stands by his words and is open to saving his on-screen wife, Linda, who has now become a murderer.
However, Danny does have some concerns about returning to the show, especially given the current storyline involving Linda. But despite his reservations, he remains hopeful and eager to see how things unfold. Even though he is no longer a part of EastEnders, Danny has kept himself busy with other projects, including his role in the Jilly Cooper adaptation, Rivals, for Disney+. He also recently starred in the Sky series, Mr Bigstuff, which has been renewed for a second season.
