Mick Carter's fate on EastEnders after mystery text as Danny Dyer 'returns'

Mick Carter's fate has been much debated since his shock exit last Christmas on EastEnders.

The much-loved character - played by Danny Dyer - seemingly died last Christmas during a showdown between him and new partner Janine Butcher and his ex Linda Carter. The shocking scenes saw Mick jump off a cliff to try and save his nearest and dearest, before 'drowning' in the sea. After a number of weeks, police assumed Mick had died - but they never found a body.

There has been much debate about whether Mick is actually alive somewhere, given that Cindy Beale - who had been presumed dead years ago - made a shocking return earlier this year as the mysterious Rose Knight. But could Danny Dyer return to EastEnders one day, and will Mick Carter be back in Walford once more to reunite with Linda?

Asked about the possibility, Danny said: "Anything is possible. Where would he have gone to? He can’t swim. I found it a bit odd."

The soap's executive producer Chris Clenshaw has also prompted rumours that Mick could still be alive. During a chat earlier this year, he said: "It’s a soap, anything can happen! There’s an unwritten rule – there wasn’t a body so there’s every chance, will Mick rock back up in Walford in a few years covered in seaweed? Will he be the dead body at Christmas?!"

Danny has been open about his EastEnders exit since he departed all those months ago. "I tell you what it is, I’m lazy. It’s f***ing hard. Thirty pages you’ve got to learn a day. It’s like a film a week," he explained of filming the final scenes.

"My final scenes were in the sea, in Ramsgate at 2am. We did the exteriors in the sea and the interiors you go to a water tank. But EastEnders couldn’t get Pinewood, so we had to go to Basildon. It’s all warm and lovely but to make it look like the sea they put broccoli juice in it. You smell of a***. It’s f***ing broccoli juice. Warm broccoli juice. It was very emotional, but I stunk. I do miss the people there, there’s no two ways about it but it’s a new chapter for me."
