‘Bring back Mick!’ Danny Dyer issues come and get me plea to EastEnders
EastEnders legend Danny Dyer has issued a plea to bring back Mick Carter, fuelling hopes that a return may be on the cards in time for the 40th anniversary.
For a show that is bringing back David Wicks, Bianca Butcher and Ruby Allen, it’s more than likely.
Mick was last seen on screen at Christmas when he was driven into the ocean during a car chase with Janine Butcher.
Since that moment, Mick has been presumed dead, with Linda (Kellie Bright) going through horrendous grief.
But, let’s not forget soap law. If we don’t see a body, there is no death.
And everyone has pretty much anticipated a comeback for Mick at some stage, even if just for an episode or two to clarify his fate.
Danny has been very busy since leaving, but he is clearly not over his character.
At the National Television Awards 2024, he was presenting a prize and shared his love to his ‘EastEnders family’.
Standing beside comedy actress Katherine Parkinson, he bellowed ‘bring back Mick!’
We are with you there, Danny!
When he then turned to Katherine and asked if she agreed, to which she deadpan replied, ‘who?’
Okay, it might have been staged, but still funny.
Mind you, there are mixed messages at play. Recently, we caught up with Danny ahead of the debut of his successful drama Mr Bigstuff, now confirmed for a second series.
And he told us that his serial drama days were behind him.
