Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer has teased he could return to the BBC soap opera. His character, Mick Carter, was last on our screens on Christmas Day 2022
Mick’s departure from Albert Square was left somewhat open-ended. Over the festive season, the former Queen Vic landlord was last seen heading into the sea to rescue ex-wife Linda (Kellie Bright) after she was involved in a car crash with Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks).
Linda and Janine both resurfaced on the shore but Mick was nowhere to be seen. Following the dramatic scenes, fans have become convinced that it wouldn’t be the last time that they'd see him. Read more about that here.

Speaking to The Times, Danny said: "Anything is possible. Where would he have gone to? He can’t swim. I found it a bit odd."
On his decision to leave the show after nine years, Danny added: "One reason I left EastEnders was because I wasn’t around enough. You’ve got to try and get in there early with your holiday, because otherwise they give you a holiday in February, and who wants to go on holiday in February?”
Danny’s exit came ahead of a huge EastEnders storyline that began airing earlier this week. On Monday, February 20, a flash-forward scene teased another big death at Christmas.
Stacey Slater, Denise Fox, Suki Panesar, Kathy Beale, Sharon Watts and Mick’s wife Linda were seen in shock as a mystery man lay dead on the floor. With several of them injured or covered in blood, and one even holding a possible weapon, it's been teased that one of the women is the killer.
EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
