Mick may or may not be dead since his body was never found when he disappeared into the ocean trying to save Linda from Janine Butcher at Christmas in 2022.
As for whether an EastEnders return is a realistic possibility, Danny has said: “Look, I take it as a compliment that people want me to go back. Who knows? If there’s no closure there, then maybe I would come back for a dream sequence. I don’t think Mick could just rock up covered in seaweed!
“I think if they did it right, with the 40th anniversary coming up, if they came up with an idea of maybe Linda drunk or hallucinating, then I would come back and do some scenes with her. You know, because I do miss Kellie, and I think maybe that would stop people asking me when I’m f**king going back!”
