EastEnders' Grant Mitchell And Mick Carter To Have A Showdown?

Handbags at dawn, Ross Kemp has hinted that his EastEnders’ persona, Grant Mitchell, might end up having a bit of a showdown with lovable Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer.

Dyer Vs. Kemp? We have no idea how this one might end…

The 51-year-old hardman is returning to the BBC soap to bid farewell to his onscreen mother, Peggy Mitchell [Barbara Windsor], and has admitted that he’s keen to utilise his time on Albert Square as much as possible.

Speaking on Radio 1, Ross explained: “It will be good to see Danny, I know Danny sort of socially, not that well. It will be interesting. We should have a tear-up though shouldn’t we really?”

When asked if the writers had already warned him that this is going to happen, the actor teased: “You’ll have to wait and see. We don’t know yet, I’ll see. I’m sure something will happen, there’s no point in me going back and not utilising myself is there really?

"It’s like having a firework after November 5th, you’re not going to wait a whole year to light that firework are you? Let’s be fair.”

Ross played leather-jacket-clad bad boy Grant for almost ten years before leaving in 1999.

He briefly returned back in 2006 and after ten years away from Walford he is keen to get his teeth into the heartbreaking storyline of Peggy’s death.

He shared: “Really, honestly, Barbara has been - well, she’s a legend. She’s a dame for starters, and she’s a close friend, and I owe the show and I owe The Mitchells quite a lot.

"I wouldn’t be doing this and talking to you now if I hadn’t had those 10 years at ‘EastEnders’. So that was a big springboard for me in terms of moving on in my life, so I see no reason not to be able to go back and do it.”

We can’t wait to have Grant back on our screens - although Mick might want to sleep with one eye open…
