Danny Dyer rules out EastEnders return
Danny Dyer has finally put an end to speculations about the fate of his EastEnders character Mick Carter, confirming that Mick is indeed dead after his dramatic exit almost two years ago.
Mick's dramatic exit at sea
Fans of the BBC One soap witnessed Mick Carter's disappearance at sea in December 2022, as he tried to rescue his love Linda Carter from the ocean after a chaotic incident involving pregnant Janine Butcher.
No chance for a comeback
Despite hopes from fans, Danny Dyer has ruled out any possibility of Mick making a return to Walford, firmly stating, "He's dead." However, he did hint at a potential dream sequence if the storyline called for it.
A glimmer of hope for fans
While Mick's body was never recovered, leaving a slight possibility for a return, Danny Dyer's confirmation of Mick's fate as dead seems to be the final nail in the coffin. Yet, as soap history has shown, never say never to a surprise comeback.
Memorable exit for Mick
Mick's character had a memorable exit, marrying Janine Butcher and expecting a child with her before his disappearance at sea.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm or stream first on BBC iPlayer.
