If Peggy Mitchell's EastEnders return was big, this is off the charts.

The internet was blown away by everyone's favourite landlady coming back onto our screens, but the return of Grant Mitchell has got even more people talking. It has been confirmed that Ross Kemp will return as the iconic character after an absence of 10 years. https://twitter.com/RossKemp/status/688999112549777409 Grant was one of the show's most popular characters in the mid-2000s, bringing Kemp plenty of critical acclaim, and the reaction on Twitter is one of excitement. https://twitter.com/GuinnessKebab/status/689038240066711552 https://twitter.com/ThatsSweetMate/status/689037433820856320 https://twitter.com/avengedwtf/status/689045468702228480 https://twitter.com/lucyfillingham_/status/689042893873524736

There were still a few nay-sayers, though.
