News about Grant Mitchell

A year after she left, a former Eastenders actress is apparently making a surprise return to the soap. Kim Medcalfe, the brother of Phil and Grant Mitchell, is expected to reprise his role as tough Sam Mitchell. And her surprise appearance on Albert Square will be explosive from the start, especially after she is thrown out the back of a van in front of her older brother Phil.

CRAIG BROWN: Which one of these Tory ministers was named by their parents after a famous soap opera character?

Ross Kemp (pictured left and right), who is best known for his role as Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, was supposed to film onboard the OceanGate sub-simultve, but his production team refused to film it, but his crew was told it was'simply not safe.' Professor Jonathan Shalit, Kemp's handler, said: "Their team checked out this OceanGate subpoena and stopped using it because it was not considered safe or suitable for use." According to The Sun, "I am just glad not to have had my newspaper note in history as the agent who killed Ross Kemp."

Ross Kemp, the EastEnders actor, has confirmed that he will be back to acting after a 15-year absence... but that won't be enough to please the Mitchell brothers. Grant Mitchell, the soap actor best known for his role on the BBC soap, is set to appear as a policeman in the forthcoming Channel 5 drama Blindspot, and he's admitted to being 'extremely anxious' when he started filming last week. Ross has been working on filming crime documentaries and presenting game shows in recent years, and he briefly reprised his role on EastEnders in 2016 to coincide with Barbara Windsor's departure.

Barbara Windsor had doubts that she was the wrong person to play Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders. The late actress, who died two years ago at the age of 83, appeared on the soap's most popular and well-loved characters. Barbara 'didn't think she was right for television' and had 'lost confidence in herself' amid the gulf between her appearances in Carry On films and the BBC soap, according to her husband Scott Mitchell.
