EastEnders’ Danny Dyer waits for Mick’s return to save Linda | Soaps

Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer has said he would be willing to return to the BBC soap as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations next year.

The 47-year-old actor played Mick Carter for nine years before the character disappeared, presumed dead on Christmas 2022.

Since then, we’ve seen wife Linda (Kellie Bright) struggle with her grief and drink again.

Her behavior worsened when attacker Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) returned to Albert Square, and she later found herself an unlikely killer when she stuck a meat thermometer in Keanu Taylor’s (Danny Walters) back to stop him strangling her best friend. friend Sharon Watts (Letitia). Dean).

Since Mick’s disappearance, fans have been convinced that he could one day return to Walford as his body was never found – and Danny certainly hasn’t ruled it out.

Last month he exclaimed ‘bring Mick back!’ while presenting a gong at the National Television Awards.

Now adding more fuel to the rumors that he could return for the big 4-0, which will be celebrated with a live episode in February.

Despite claiming his NTA comment was a ‘joke’, Danny told the KISS Breakfast Radio Show he would love to return.

“I would like to come back for the 40th anniversary, but no one has contacted me,” he said.

‘I threw it out there. I think I need to go back and save my wife Linda, who has now become a murderer.

‘That worries me a little.’

Despite his insistence that Mick return, Danny has remained constantly busy since his departure and is currently starring in the Jilly Cooper adaptation Rivals for Disney+.

He also had a starring role in Mr Bigstuff for Sky, which has been commissioned for a second series.
