Lets just hope this is the last of the "Will Grant return?" threads as I'm getting quite sick of them

Well, I'm pleased he will not be back as EE do not need him anymore and after Den's return that nearly killed the show I cannot believe that the beeb considered it.

I'm glad too and I agree with Loopy. EE don't need to bring back characters, then need to work with the ones they've got and bring in some new ones. Soaps can't keep looking back to the past, they need to move on with the cast they've got now, not the cast they had 5 years ago.

Den's return, really, had nothing to do with the problems! The problems were LB, crap producing, crap writing, crap characers. Den nearly killed the show? If we hadn't had Den, we wouldn't have Chrissie, the Watts would be pointless, and we have got some really good storylines out of him. And why shouldn't the Beeb consider bringing back Grant? He was a fantastic character, and Ross Kemp is really good.

Well, here's a sentence I never thought I'd type - I agree with Loopy. (
) If EE is going to move forward they need to put fresh impertus into the show and not keep harking back to 'the good old days' - it didn't work with Den, and they have shown they can introduce fresh, new, popular characters when they try - e.g. Mini Den (although the appeal passes me by), Chrissie and Jane for example. The only good thing I've seen come out of Den's return was it gave rise to the character of Chrissie.

No, they don't need random characters back, but they do need the Mitchell family. Like the Watts, they are a very important part of the Square, and have made themselves legendies
But yes, EE needs to strive to become better than it ever was before

![]() Faaaaaaaamileh, is how it is pronounced ![]() We already have faaaaaamileh families... Slaters, Watts... And you just KNOW that if they brought in some new Mitchell family, there would be Dennis + Den VS (insert male bad boy here) + (insert male bad boy here) wars. We've got incesty families (Watts), faaaaaaamileh familes (Watts+Slaters), messy families (Millers)... What other families could they bring in? OMG! A FAMILY OF MURDERERS! YEA!!!!
