If Grant and Peggy come back, do you think the ratings will surge?
Grant Mitchell is a breakout character, there's no doubt about that. Lots of viewers adore the character of Grant and there have been yearly campaigns to bring him back in social media. Ross Kemp's recent statement "never say never" when a fan asked him if he would return in future got fans excited. I have seen on Facebook/Twitter about Grant/Ross Kemp and people are convinced he's coming back. There is no confirmation yet but if Grant returns, would you agree that the ratings will be really high? Grant is so popular but what are your views?
Barbara Windsor has said she would return to EastEnders if Grant comes back and Peggy is an icon - lots of people like her outside this forum. |

I think people will tune into the return episodes then switch off completely

No. It was said on here that the ratings would soar when Sharon came back,they didn't. Ditto with Kathy. If I remember correctly only David's return saw the ratings climb. I really hope we never see the dreadful Peggy again.

I think soaps as a phenomenon are way past the stage of individual characters causing a long term sustained surge in ratings.
I know it's often said but their no longer the social juggernauts they once were. The "decline " of soaps is interesting in its own right. 😜Their becoming closer to being niche viewing in some regards and that's no bad thing _soaps for soap lovers rather than trying or hoping to get anyone and everyone's bum on a chair! Having said all that Grant and Peggy returning would be no bad thing! |

No, but the number of people watching on iPlayer and Sky+ will.

Grant is the only huge return left, so no doubt it would be quite an event considering it's the longest he's been off-screen. His return in 2005 got 13 million.

The ratings would possibly rise slightly for their first few episodes but then settle back to the normal 6.5 mil quite quickly there after.

I reckon they will surge by at least 67,896 viewers . Give or take 1 or 2 either side.

I'm sure I'm in the minority regarding Peggy but if she came back I'd stop watching. I would like to see Grant back though.
