Kellie Bright, who plays Linda Carter on EastEnders, has recently spoken out about the fervent fan desire for a Mick Carter comeback. Bright shared her enthusiasm for reuniting on-screen with Danny Dyer, who portrayed Mick Carter. Speaking at the National Television Awards, Bright revealed her openness to working with Dyer again despite her character Linda’s current struggles. She told Digital Spy, “I would love to do anything with Danny Dyer work-related. It would be fantastic to see Mick and Linda together again, but I don’t know if he’s been approached to return.”
The excitement around Mick’s potential return stems from the dramatic events of the 2022 Christmas special, where Mick disappeared into the sea after a harrowing chase involving Janine Butcher. After rescuing a pregnant Janine from a car and diving back in to save Linda, Mick’s fate remained uncertain. Dyer himself has expressed dissatisfaction with how Mick’s storyline concluded, feeling that his character’s trajectory had lost direction.
In a heartfelt message during the National Television Awards on September 11th, Danny Dyer joined the fans’ call for Mick’s return. “I want to acknowledge my EastEnders family. I love and miss you all. Bring Mick back,” Dyer urged, addressing the audience as he presented an award. Mick’s body was never recovered, leaving a glimmer of hope for his return, although there are no current plans to bring him back at this moment.
Kelly Bright echoed Dyer’s sentiments about the potential for Mick’s return, expressing her desire to rekindle the on-screen chemistry with her former co-star. “I would love to do anything with Danny Dyer. Obviously, I’d love to see Mick and Linda together again,” Bright stated. However, she also acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Dyer’s return, noting, “He’s busy with his own projects, and while I support him from afar, I have no idea if he’s been asked to come back. It would be a surprise if it happens.”
As fans eagerly await any news about Mick’s possible return, other EastEnders storylines are also unfolding. Harvey Monroe is set to make a significant sacrifice for Jean Slater in upcoming episodes. Harvey, who has been working long hours for Maya Houseen, recently faced a near-tragic incident with baby Charlie and has strained his relationship with Jean. To make amends, Harvey wins a radio competition and offers a trip to Greece to Jean and Stacey, hoping to mend their fractured relationship.
In other news, Joel Becket has announced a surprise return of his character, Jake Moon, this week. Becket revealed that he was approached about returning for a single day, and although he didn’t expect to be back on the Square, he was thrilled to reconnect with the show after such a long absence.
Shane Richie has also shared insights into Alfie Moon’s future following his prostate cancer diagnosis. Richie, who originally portrayed Alfie starting in 2002, revealed that the storyline will delve into difficult and important themes related to prostate cancer and its effects. He also hinted at upcoming drama involving Alfie’s interactions with his family and the challenges they face.
Additionally, EastEnders is planning a special live episode to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Richie mentioned that the cast is mostly in the dark about the specifics of this milestone episode, but they are eagerly anticipating more details in the coming weeks.
