Ross Kemp will reprise his iconic role as Grant Mitchell for EastEnders' 40th anniversary celebrations. After leaving the soap permanently in 2006, Grant will make a dramatic return to Albert Square, promising a week of shocking episodes.
Ross Kemp will be reprising his role as Grant Mitchell for EastEnders’ 40th anniversary, the BBC have confirmed. The star hasn’t been seen on the show for 8 years having left permanently in 2006, but returned again for a few episodes in 2016.
Ross joined the show almost 35 years ago, but Grant has never been forgotten from the show, particularly with his brother Phil Mitchell , still on Albert Square. Back in the 90s, Grant was centre of huge storylines in the past, in particular ‘Sharongate’. The story saw Sharon Watts cheat on her husband Grant with his brother Phil, and it all came to a head in The Vic when a confession of Sharon’s was played for all to hear.
In 1999, Grant left Walford along with his daughter Courtney, for a new life in Brazil. However he returned in 2005 to reunite the family and the Mitchell brothers ended up embroiled in a vendetta against Johnny Allen . Grant left just one year later, but returned again in 2016 for a few episodes to commemorate Peggy Mitchell's final scenes.
