Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp)

I wonder whether Grant will find out from someone that he has a son in America? Mark Fowler jr, he fathered with Michelle shortly before she left ... While I can´t see Susan Tully returning as Michelle, a re-cast could and surely would make for interesting storyline

That would be good, he could come and stay with Martin and meet his "new cousin Arthur"

Grant would sort Vincent and Gavin out

For someone touted as the worst villain in soap history, Gavin hasn't actually done much yet. If what was said when he was introduced is true, I can't see him being sorted out any time soon.

I think this is likely to happen because it could be the last time Ross Kemp ever agrees to appear in EastEnders. I wouldn't be able to resist if I were DTC.

Ross Kemp has been in some of the most dangerous environments in the world, but he's more nervous than ever about rejoining EastEnders.

The actor is making his Albert Square return later this year, and he's already anxious about stepping out as Grant Mitchell once more.

"I've had sniper rounds go through the wall behind me, and I'm quite cool under fire. I'm good at dealing with things like that. But I'm wetting myself at the thought of going back to EastEnders," he told Radio Times.

"I'm panicking about everything. About whether I've lost the ability to learn all the lines. About whether I can cope with it at all.

"I worry about letting people down, letting myself down. That's my biggest fear. It's going to be like going back to sixth form."

Kemp will be returning for a stint to say goodbye to mum Peggy after it was announced that Barbara Windsor has decided to bow out for good.

Danniella Westbrook is also set to return as his sister Sam in scenes that will air in the spring.

There could be a shock in store for Grant Mitchell when he returns to Albert Square.

The eldest of the Mitchell siblings could be about to come face to face with a son he didn’t know he had 20 years ago.

In 1995 Grant had an almighty row with his ex-wife’s best friend Michelle Fowler about how he’d treated Sharon during their marriage, which resulted in a naughty one-night stand between the two.

Michelle ended up pregnant, and decided to hightail it out of Walford before anyone found out. She moved to America, where she had a boy and named him Mark after her late brother who died of an AIDS related illness.

Grant never officially found out that the kid was in fact his, but he could be about to.

20 years later and Grant’s secret son could be finally winging his way to Walford.

Michelle’s younger brother, Martin Fowler, is about to tie the knot with Stacey Branning. Usually at these kind of occasions family attend, and it’s thought that Mark – Martin’s nephew – might just turn up to help celebrate the nuptials. But as it happens, the wedding is taking place right at the time Grant is in town.

Could he and his biological son be about to meet for the first time?

With emotions running higher than ever, it may not be the family reunion that Peggy has longed for as Phil (Steve McFadden) and Grant immediately start to clash.


After coming face-to-face for the first time in years, sparks fly as the tension builds between the Mitchell brothers. However, they could soon be forced to put their differences aside for the sake of their very unwell mum.

Grant, in particular, will struggle to come to terms with the news that Peggy is dying and is unable to accept her decision to not have further treatment to prolong her life.

With Peggy's final moments drawing closer, Grant finds himself turning to an old flame for support, but will they be able to resist temptation? And who is it?

Grant shares a romantic history with both his sister-in-law Sharon and Ian's wife Jane Beale, but fans will have to tune in to see who is the woman in question.
