Overview
- EastEnders confirmed via its official social media that Ross Kemp will reprise Grant Mitchell this spring for a short stint on BBC One and iPlayer.
- Grant is summoned by his estranged son Mark Fowler Jr for their first on-screen meeting since Mark learned the truth about his parentage.
- His return connects directly with Nigel Bates’s worsening dementia plot, which Kemp says holds deep personal meaning for him.
- Producers are promising "explosive" drama, with further story details, episode counts and specific air dates yet to be announced.
- Some outlets report Kemp has begun filming and suggest a longer, multi‑month run, but that duration has not been officially confirmed.
