EastEnders star Danny Dyer has addressed the fate of Mick Carter after almost two years of speculation from fans.

Mick, as viewers of the BBC One soap will recall, vanished at sea over the Christmas period in 2022 when trying to rescue one true love Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) from the treacherous waves after pregnant Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) drove them into the water.

The Queen Vic landlord, under Linda’s instruction, saved Janine and their unborn child first before returning to the ocean to retrieve his L, unaware of the fact that she had safely made it to shore.

A body was never recovered, with fans hoping that such a thing leaves the door open for a potential return for Mick one day, much in the vein of Neighbours legend Harold Bishop, who famously vanished at sea in 1991 only to return to the Aussie soap five years later.

Flash-forward three decades and Harold remains a firm mainstay on Ramsay Street, with 86-year-old star Ian Smith still portraying the role. Could a similar sort of future – and longevity – be in the pipeline for Mick?

Addressing the possibility of a return, actor Danny Dyer admitted that fans keep asking him when he’s set to return to EastEnders but, unfortunately, he had some bad news regarding Mick’s fate.

‘He’s dead’ he told Heatworld.

‘Look, I take it as a compliment that people want me to go back. Who knows? If there’s no closure there, then maybe I would come back for a dream sequence. I don’t think Mick could just rock up covered in seaweed!

Despite Danny Dyer’s confirmation that Mick Carter is indeed dead, fans of EastEnders continue to hold out hope for his potential return to the show. Many viewers have been speculating about the possibility of Mick making a comeback in a dream sequence or some other unexpected twist in the storyline. The unresolved nature of Mick’s disappearance at sea has left the door open for creative possibilities, much like the return of Harold Bishop in Neighbours.

As we eagerly await any updates or new developments regarding Mick’s fate, it’s clear that the character has left a lasting impact on the show and its audience. The idea of Mick returning in some form, whether through flashbacks, dream sequences, or surprising plot twists, adds an element of intrigue and excitement to the ongoing narrative of EastEnders.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Mick Carter and whether fans will ever get to see him again on their screens. In the meantime, we can continue to enjoy the drama and suspense that EastEnders never fails to deliver.
