Ever since Danny Dyer departed EastEnders<\/a> at the end of 2022, fans have been speculating about what really happened to his character Mick Carter.<\/p>\n

In his final scenes on the soap, the former Queen Vic landlord had been attempting to rescue his beloved Linda (Kellie Bright) and the then-heavily pregnant Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) following an accident at sea, only to vanish without a trace.<\/p>\n

A body was never found and Mick\u2019s fate has been left open to interpretation<\/a>, but now Dyer himself has offered his twopence worth as to whether his character might have survived the incident \u2013 and it\u2019s bad news for fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s dead,\u201d he said in no uncertain terms during a recent interview with Heatworld<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I take it as a compliment that people want me to go back. Who knows? If there\u2019s no closure there, then maybe I would come back for a dream sequence. I don\u2019t think Mick could just rock up covered in seaweed!\u201d<\/p>

Expanding on the possibility of some sort of brief return to the soap, he added: \u201cI think if they did it right, with the 40th anniversary coming up, if they came up with an idea of maybe Linda drunk or hallucinating, then I would come back and do some scenes with her.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, because I do miss Kellie, and I think maybe that would stop people asking me when I\u2019m f**king going back!\u201d<\/p>\n

So, although that might be a sliver of good news for fans desperate to see Mick back in Walford, we won\u2019t be expecting him to be pulling pints again at any point in the future\u2026<\/p>\n

Instead, Dyer will soon be seen alongside David Tennant and Aidan Turner in the Disney Plus adaptation of Jilly Cooper\u2019s Rivals<\/a>, which unveiled its first teaser trailer this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n
