EastEnders is set to mark its 40th anniversary in grand style as legendary actor Ross Kemp returns to Albert Square, igniting a wave of nostalgia and excitement among fans. The iconic actor, famed for his portrayal of Grant Mitchell, is ready to slip back into his signature black leather jacket—a look that comes with tight trousers, brawling bravado, and complicated romances, not to mention a touch of arson on the side.
The celebration will kick off with an hour-long special episode airing on February 19, followed by an interactive live show where viewers get to decide whether Denise Fox ends up with Ravi Gulati or Jack Branning. Ross’s comeback is eagerly anticipated as he reunites with old friend Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) and joins efforts to support his suicidal brother Phil (Steve McFadden), who is currently battling a severe mental health crisis, reported the Mirror.
