In 2016, Grant was last seen before his character exited the hit BBC One soap EastEnders. Since then, Chris Clenshaw has taken over as the show's boss, and fans have been delighted by the new developments and characters introduced to the iconic Walford community.
One of the most talked about returns in recent years has been that of Cindy Beale. Last year, viewers were stunned to learn that Cindy was still alive and had been living in Albert Square under the alias Rose Knight. This revelation came during an episode set in France, where we also discovered that Cindy was in a relationship with Ian Beale and living with their son, Peter Beale.
But Cindy wasn't the only familiar face to make a comeback. Jane Beale, another of Ian's ex-wives, also returned to Walford. Cindy had suspected that Ian was having an affair with Jane, and after following him to a remote cottage, she confronted them both. In a dramatic moment, Cindy and Jane finally met as Jane introduced herself.
Now, Cindy is living with Ian, Peter, and their other son Bobby. Another character who made a recent return was David Wicks, the son of Pat Butcher and original Walford resident Pete Beale. He shared scenes with Patsy Palmer, who plays his on-screen daughter Bianca Jackson. Fans are hoping for more returns, especially since Bianca is currently being held hostage by Reiss Colwell.
As EastEnders approaches its 40th anniversary, there has been much talk about bringing back old characters to add a nostalgic element to the show. Last year, Chris Clenshaw expressed his desire to see Grant Mitchell return for some brotherly drama with Phil. And it seems that actor Ross Kemp, who played Grant, hasn't ruled it out either. He recently stated in an interview that he never says never and that he had a great time playing the role for 10 years.
As we eagerly await any news of a possible Grant Mitchell return, we can look forward to a special documentary next year that will celebrate the show's milestone. And who knows, maybe Ross will make an appearance in some capacity. This article was originally published in 2023, but the excitement and anticipation for old characters to make a comeback still remains strong among fans.
