EastEnders: Kemp Eyes Return Amid Phil-Sharon Drama

In EastEnders, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) confesses his enduring affection for ex-wife Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), rekindling old tensions and potential romance. Meanwhile, Ross Kemp, who plays Grant Mitchell, Phil's brother, hints at a potential permanent return to the show, contingent on a request from McFadden, despite branding the show a 'tough old gig' due to its demanding schedule. Kemp and McFadden have strengthened their real-life friendship following Kemp's participation in the soap's 40th-anniversary special, where Kemp's character, Grant, was involved in a poignant storyline with Phil. Kemp praises McFadden's acting abilities and expresses a willingness to collaborate again, recognizing the significant impact their on-screen brotherhood has had on his career and personal life. He describes his recent return as emotional, particularly in the absence of Barbara Windsor, who played their on-screen mother, Peggy Mitchell, adding a layer of nostalgia and tribute to the anniversary episode.
