In a riveting episode of EastEnders aired on February 27, 2025, the iconic character Grant Mitchell bid farewell to the Square after his brief return. Fans are left wondering if this is truly the end or if he could make another comeback. Grant’s short stint in Albert Square began just two weeks prior, prompted by a concerning call from his friend Nigel regarding his brother Phil’s struggles with mental health.

During his visit, Grant also attended the ill-fated wedding of Billy and Honey, which took a tragic turn when The Vic exploded, resulting in the death of Martin Fowler. Amidst the turmoil, he managed to rescue Sharon from the wreckage, leading to a heartfelt reconnection between them. In a significant moment, Grant apologized to Sharon for past grievances, culminating in a kiss that hinted at rekindled feelings. However, the emotional goodbye he shared with both Sharon and Nigel marked the end of his visit, as he chose to return to Portugal.

Ross Kemp, who portrays Grant, expressed his enthusiasm for rejoining the show during an appearance on The One Show. He spoke about his pride in being part of a series that has tackled important and diverse issues over its 40-year run. This affection for the show raises possibilities for his character’s future involvement.

Following hints referencing Grant’s son Mark Jr., viewers are speculating about potential storylines that could explore their relationship. With the narrative door left ajar for Grant, and Ross Kemp’s evident dedication to EastEnders, fans remain hopeful for his eventual return.

EastEnders continues to air new episodes Monday through Thursday at 7:30 PM on BBC One.
