As EastEnders fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter of the beloved soap, Kellie Bright, who plays Linda Carter, has opened up
about her hopes for a potential return of Mick Carter, portrayed by Danny Dyer. Speaking at the National Television Awards,

The actress’s sentiments resonate with many fans who have been vocal about their wish to see Mick return following the dramatic Christmas twist in 2022.
In the festive episode of 2022, Mick Carter’s storyline took a heart-wrenching turn when he disappeared into the sea after a dramatic chase involving Janine Butcher.

However, Bright acknowledged that she is supportive of Dyer’s busy career from afar and is unsure if he has been asked to return to the show.
Dyer himself has been candid about his feelings regarding his character’s recent storylines. In an interview with IFL TV in February 2023, he shared his dissatisfaction with Mick’s final scenes, expressing that he felt his character had “lost his way.” Dyer’s comments suggest a degree of uncertainty and frustration about how his character’s journey concluded, adding another layer to the ongoing speculation about Mick’s potential return.
