Grant Mitchell has been out of sight since 2016, but his absence hasn't stopped fans from enjoying the ever-evolving world of EastEnders under the direction of Chris Clenshaw. The show has been introducing new characters and bringing back old ones, which has had a huge impact on the community of Walford.
One of the most shocking returns in recent years has been that of Cindy Beale. The audience was stunned when it was revealed that Cindy was actually alive and living in Albert Square. In a special episode set in France, we learned that she had been living undercover as Rose Knight after her arrest 20 years ago. We also found out that she was in a relationship with Ian Beale and living with their son Peter Beale.
Another recent comeback was Jane Beale, another one of Ian's ex-wives. Cindy had suspected that Ian was having an affair with her and finally gathered the courage to follow him to a remote cottage. She saw a bottle of wine and two glasses on the coffee table and, after confronting Ian, charged into the property. In a classic EastEnders moment, Cindy came face to face with Jane and introduced herself.
Cindy is now living with Ian, Peter, and Bobby, but the surprises are not over yet. It was recently announced that David Wicks, the son of Pat Butcher and Pete Beale, will be returning to Walford. And after much speculation from fans, it has been confirmed that Patsy Palmer will also be reprising her role as Bianca Jackson alongside her on-screen father.
As EastEnders approaches its 40th year on air, it's important for the show to stay modern and relevant. However, bringing back old characters not only excites fans but also adds a touch of nostalgia to the show. Chris Clenshaw, the current boss of the show, has expressed his desire to bring back more characters, with Grant Mitchell at the top of his wish list. He even mentioned wanting to see more brotherly drama between Grant and Phil.
But will Grant actually make a comeback? Actor Ross Kemp, who played the role for 10 years, hasn't ruled it out. In fact, he recently said in an interview that he never says never and that he had a great time playing the character. He also mentioned that he is currently focused on other projects but would be open to returning to EastEnders in the future.
With all these exciting returns and potential comebacks, it's no wonder that fans are eagerly awaiting the next shocking EastEnders spoilers.
