Ross Kemp’s return to EastEnders for its 40th anniversary brought back his iconic character, Grant Mitchell, into a gripping and emotional storyline. As Phil Mitchell spirals into deep depression, his close friend Nigel seeks Grant’s help. Initially dismissive, Grant only realizes the gravity of the situation when Phil is on the verge of taking his own life.
Kemp reflected on his reunion with McFadden, noting how seamlessly they fell back into their on-screen dynamic. He also highlighted the often-overlooked talent of soap actors, emphasizing McFadden’s commitment to the role for over three decades. Looking ahead, Kemp didn’t rule out another return, hinting at unfinished business with Sharon Watts—an unresolved romance that could spark yet another major EastEnders drama.
