In the BBC soap opera EastEnders, Kemp's most well-known role is that of hardman Grant Mitchell. His character appeared on television during the 1990s, particularly to Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and then Tiffany Mitchell (Martine McCutcheon), as well as the "Sharongate" storyline, which saw brother Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) having an affair with Grant's wife, which was revealed two years after it began.
Kemp revealed on March 24th, 1999, that after almost ten years, he would be out of the soap early next year. After surviving a car accident in October 1999, his character was exported to Brazil. Kemp refused to rule out a return to EastEnders in the future, and several media outlets over the next few years rumors that he would return to the series at some point. Kemp will be back to EastEnders in the fall of 2005 after six years away, according to the BBC. Even though his comeback would be brief, co-star Barbara Windsor convinced him to return. His first comeback lasted just a few weeks from October 2005, but he returned in March 2006, just weeks after leaving for the first time in June this year.
Kemp would make a short return to the show for Grant's on-screen mother, Peggy Mitchell (played by Windsor), who appeared in three episodes during May and June of this year. He filmed a further three weeks and returned for brief stints from 4 July to September 2016.
