BBC EastEnders fans reckon they have “worked out” that Mick Carter will be making a shock return – despite being ‘dead’.
The fan-favourite character, played by Danny Dyer, made his debut back in 2013. Along with the rest of the Carter clan, it didn’t take long for them to get involved in several dramatic storylines.
However in 2022, Mick exited the BBC soap in a major blow to fans. As viewers will recall, he seemingly drowned on Christmas Day after rushing to the water to save Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).

Despite a body never being found, Mick’s death left ex-wife Linda heartbroken and since then, she’s not been able to move in. And in Walford last week, she was left stunned when her rapist Dean Wicks arrived in her kitchen at the Vic.
The soap bad guy, played by Matt Di Angelo, raped Linda in 2014 and he hasn’t been seen in the famous square for seven years. However last week Dean came back to Walford.
To Linda’s horror, Dean plans to make Albert Square his home again as he’s revealed as the Beales' new business partner. His decision to return is driven by his need to be close to the local hospital where his daughter Jade (Roya Masood) – who has cystic fibrosis – is receiving treatment and awaiting a life-saving lung transplant.
Matt has reprised his role as twisted Dean, who was driven out of Walford after being disowned by his family in 2016. Now, Linda must contend with Dean being back on the Square and protesting his innocence to anybody who will listen.
However, fans reckon the love of Linda’s life Mick could be a shock return too in a bid to save her from Dean. Over on X, formerly known as Twitter, one person said: “Hmmmm they never found Mick's body you knowwwww – feels like they're leaving the door open for a come back.”
