As most people know, actor Ross Kemp agreed to reprise his iconic role for the his on-screen mum’s final storyline.

This week, viewers will see Peggy Mitchell arrive back in the Square with the sad news that her cancer has spread and nothing more can be done. Sob!

The devastating news soon spreads to Portugal, where Grant has been living with daughter, Courtney.

If anything can bring him back to Walford, it’s the loss of his beloved mum. But what will happen when Phil and Grant com face to face again? And will Phil even be sober enough to remember it?

More importantly, what will happen when Grant comes face to face with his old flames, Sharon, Jane and supposedly-dead Kathy? And will he be bringing his now-teenage daughter with him?

It was announced in January that Ross would be making a brief return to the soap and since then he’s been teasing us all on Twitter, posting updates about the script and pics from the set.

Ross said at the time of the announcement: “When I was approached about returning toEastEnders for Barbara’s final episodes, it was something I could not turn down.

“Barbara is a very close friend so when I learned of the storyline, it felt right that the Mitchell brothers are reunited with their mother for the last time. I am really looking forward to going back to EastEnders and filming what are set to be some classic EastEnders episodes.”
