EastEnders: Fans deflated by Grant return ‘Did they bring him back for decoration?’

It's official - Grant Mitchell is back in EastEnders. However, some fans have found themselves disappointed by last night's episode.

Grant returned in Phil’s hour of need on Thursday, as the depressed Mitchell hardman began hallucinating conversations with his long-departed mum, dad and, uh, self from 1985. However, those hoping to see Grant give Phil the kick up the backside (or big hug) he so needs were left deflated – as he appeared more interested in wandering the streets of Walford than anything else. But with the soap headed for its explosive 40th anniversary – an event Phil is at the heart of – Grant is bound to open his eyes sooner or later.
