People Question Grant’s Forgetful Past
Fans have been questioning Grant for completely forgetting that he slept with someone’s man’s wife. However, others are defending the character by noting that he has a massive list of past romances. And the iconic past partners include Sharon, Michelle, Tiffany, Kathy and Chelsea.

Elsewhere, some are really excited that the Mitchell brothers are back on screen. In fact, viewers do believe that the soap improves significantly whenever Grant returns to Albert Square. Recently, the hardman returned for Nigel Bates. But soon he became entangled in an intense rivalry to protect his son Mark Fowler Jr from a gangster named Russell.
However, when Grant confronted him at the Boxing Den, Russell recognised him as a face from his past. Yes, that’s right Grant is the same man who had slept with Russell’s wife years ago. Hence, the gangster instantly doubled Mark’s debt.
What EastEnders Fans Are Saying On Reddit
A user said, “Honestly, after the last episode I think Grant might be full on suck. Like, how did he forget he slept with the guy’s wife? Honestly, I don’t know how he is going to fix things up with his son.” Another shared, “Tbf, Grant slept with pretty much everybody, I’m not surprised he forgot.”

While, a third wrote, “I don’t know why everyone is being so mean. I love Grant being back. He and Phil are good together. They just need a proper storyline for him. I like him with Linda.” Elsewhere, someone else dropped, “Maybe Grant’s role shouldn’t be dealing with all this rubbish. He should be a typical East End hardman who punches people who are rude to him and runs Walford. They’re making him have emotions and care about all this crap!”
“He made out that he didn’t remember. He knew what he was doing”, said one. Meanwhile, do you think Grant has truly forgotten that he slept with Russell’s wife? Let us know in the comments section. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
