The soaps are on the cusp of an incredibly dramatic week, as confirmed in my new spoilers for upcoming episodes, with tragedy set to strike and the long-awaited return of one of the genre’s most-known characters. I am of course talking about Grant Mitchell, who stages his EastEnders return next week just prior to the show’s upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations. Ross Kemp reprises the role that made him a star as Grant returns to Walford to save struggling Phil, while Emmerdale lines up a week of tragedy and chaos, with a limo full of villagers plummeting into an icy lake.
