Ross Kemp Praises Co-star Steve Mcfadden Ahead Of Character's Return

So, grab a cuppa and pull up a chair, 'cause we've got some EastEnders gossip that'll make you say, "Oi, oi, oi!"

Ross Kemp's Got Some Love for His Co-Star

You know Ross Kemp, right? The bloke who's played Grant Mitchell in EastEnders since forever (well, since 1990, which is practically forever in soap years). Well, he's been spilling the tea on his co-star, Steve McFadden, who's set to make a comeback as Phil Mitchell.

Now, Ross isn't one to dish out compliments like confetti at a wedding, but when he does, you know it's the real deal. He's been bigging up Steve, saying he's "one of the best actors in the business" and that he's "looking forward to working with him again."

Blimey, that's high praise from a bloke who's seen more than his fair share of drama both on and off screen. But Ross isn't the only one who's excited about Phil's return. Fans have been losing their minds, tweeting things like, "Phil's coming home!" and "It's not Walford without Phil!"

Phil Mitchell: The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Let's face it, Phil's had more comebacks than a yo-yo, but each time he struts back into the Queen Vic, it's like the sun's come out after a storm. He's the soap's very own silver fox, and we can't get enough of his gruff charm and that iconic glint in his eye.

Ross reckons Steve's got a "brilliant" way of playing Phil, and we couldn't agree more. He's got that knack of making us love him one minute and want to give him a good slap the next. It's a talent, innit?

But it's not just about Phil's charisma. No, no, no. It's the drama he brings. The tension. The edge-of-your-seat stuff. You never know what he's going to do next. Will he be the hero or the villain? The peacemaker or the troublemaker? It's like watching a high-stakes game of poker, and we're all on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next card to be played.

Ross Kemp: The Man Behind the Mitchells

Now, Ross might be best known for playing Phil's brother, Grant, but he's no stranger to the drama. He's had his fair share of storylines that've had us reaching for the tissues and the popcorn. And let's not forget, he's the bloke who once threatened to "bash" Phil's head in with a brick. (Spoiler alert: Phil survived, but their bromance was never the same again.)

But Ross isn't just about the soaps. No, he's a man of many talents. He's been a journalist, a documentary maker, and even a voiceover artist. (Fun fact: Did you know he narrated the UK version of "The Simpsons"? Mind. Blown.)

He's also a bit of a fitness fanatic. (Yes, even more so than Phil Mitchell.) He's climbed mountains, run marathons, and even done a bit of boxing. (Again, not something we'd recommend trying at home, kids.)

So, What's Next for Phil and Grant?

With Phil on his way back to Walford, and Ross still very much a part of the show, it's got us wondering: What's in store for the Mitchell brothers? Will they be best mates again, or will there be more drama than a high school prom?

Ross reckons it's going to be "interesting" to see how things play out. (Translation: There's going to be more drama than a high school prom.) But he's also said he's "really looking forward" to working with Steve again. (Translation: He's probably already planning their next big storyline.)

Why We Love a Good Soap

At the end of the day, that's what we love about soaps, isn't it? The drama, the tension, the never-ending storylines that keep us coming back for more. And with Phil Mitchell on his way back, we've got a feeling things are about to get a whole lot more exciting in the world of EastEnders.

So, here's to Ross and Steve, two blokes who've given us years of entertainment, laughter, and tears. Here's to Phil Mitchell, the gift that keeps on giving. And here's to us, the fans, who can't get enough of the drama. Because let's face it, life's too short not to enjoy a bit of soap opera magic.

And with that, it's time for me to put the kettle on and settle down for another episode. Until next time, folks!
