Just when Phil Mitchell needed a lifeline, his tough-as-nails brother Grant came to rescue him.

EastEnders Legends Grant & Phil Are Back!
EastEnders legend Ross Kemp, better known for portraying the iconic Grant Mitchell on the show, has shared his first look as he reunites with Phil actor Steve McFadden. Earlier this month, the BBC program announced the return of Kemp for a short stint as he became part of 40th-anniversary celebrations. The 60-year-old actor was once a regular on the soap between 1990 to 2016 and now he’s back after almost a decade.
In November, last year, we reported Ross’ pictures of him leaving the soap’s studios in a black car which led to the speculations about his comeback. The beloved character will be a part of an interesting storyline which keeps Phil Mitchell in the midst. We know that Walford Hardman has been struggling with depression and has maintained distance from his loved ones.
Spoilers for next week relay that Phil will attempt to take next week, and it looks like Grant might swoop in to save his brother. Although the details of Grant’s return are being kept tightly under the wraps, we cannot wait to see what happens next! Ahead of his new scenes, Ross has shared a picture of him with Steve on the backlot set in Elstree, Hertfordshire. He also shared a snap of himself with the team of EastEnders.
