Danny Dyer has revealed there was an alternative ending to Mick Carter's dramatic exit on EastEnders.
The actor departed the BBC soap in huge scenes airing on Christmas Day after he jumped into the freezing sea to try and save his current partner Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) and his ex-wife Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). Danny has now opened up about the possible alternative ending to Mick's demise.
He is now presumed dead - as the whole family and the rest of the Square cope with his sad loss. Linda has gone to tell the rest of the family about Mick's disappearance and likely death whilst Shirley continues to struggle.
