August 10th 2024.
It's been a while since we've seen him and we're all eager to catch a glimpse of him! As EastEnders' Phil Mitchell battles with a sense of isolation, many devoted fans can't help but speculate if his brother Grant Mitchell will make a comeback this festive season to rescue him.
Over the years, Phil has suffered the loss of numerous loved ones, but it's only recently that he's truly felt the impact of saying goodbye to so many Mitchells. After Ben's arrest, the family was stunned when three new members showed up - Billy's brother Teddy and his sons Harry and Barney Mitchell. As they settled into life on Albert Square, it was clear that Phil wasn't warming up to them. Even after uncovering Stevie's hidden secrets from Billy, Phil couldn't bring himself to get to know the new additions to the Mitchell family.
Feeling alone at home, Phil sat down and gazed at the family photos on his wall. With Ben behind bars, Louise living elsewhere, and Sharon and Denise controlling when their sons can see their father, Phil is left with very few loved ones around him at the moment.
Following these emotional scenes, which aired last month, fans took to social media platforms like X and Reddit to express their thoughts on Phil's new storyline. Many are worried about the beloved character and are wondering if he will spiral out of control in the coming months, leading to Grant's return to save him.
One user on X shared, "I actually shed a tear for Phil. He needs to understand why everyone leaves him in the end. Steve never left the show, now it's the perfect time to bring back Grant. #EastEnders." Another fan on Reddit echoed similar sentiments, writing, "It's sad to see Phil feeling so alone, but it's a great storyline for him after everything he's been through. I'm starting to get worried that the 40th anniversary may be leading up to a potential exit. If a Grant return is announced, I'll be even more concerned."
It's no secret that Grant's return has been hinted at multiple times in recent episodes, and it seems viewers are ready to see Ross Kemp reprise his role as the tough-as-nails Grant Mitchell. Executive producer Chris Clenshaw has expressed his desire to bring back Grant for more drama between the Mitchell brothers, and Ross himself has hinted at a possible comeback, saying, "Never say never."
As we eagerly await any news of a Grant return, it's worth noting that Ross Kemp's career has been much more diverse than just playing the infamous Grant Mitchell on EastEnders. Fans are eagerly anticipating his comeback, especially after his last appearance in 2016 during Peggy Mitchell's death.
