Ross Kemp to Reprise Role as Grant Mitchell for EastEnders' 40th Anniversary

The iconic character's return is set to feature in a major storyline as the BBC soap celebrates four decades on air.

Ross Kemp will return as Grant Mitchell for a short stint leading up to EastEnders' 40th anniversary in February 2025.
The BBC has teased an 'explosive' storyline for Grant's return, which will play a significant role in the anniversary celebrations.
Grant's reappearance coincides with ongoing drama involving his brother Phil Mitchell, estranged friend Nigel Bates, and ex-wife Sharon Watts, who is now dating their cousin Teddy Mitchell.
This marks Kemp's first return to the soap since 2016, when he appeared in episodes surrounding the farewell of Peggy Mitchell, played by the late Dame Barbara Windsor.
Executive producer Chris Clenshaw has promised viewers 'unmissable TV,' though specific details of Grant's storyline remain under wraps.
