The character was part of a new wave of Mitchells who arrived in Albert Square last year. Alongside sons Harry (Elijah Holloway) and Barney (Lewis Bridgeman), he soon settled in the area having connected with his estranged brother Billy (Perry Fenwick).
The trio were soon joined by his ex-wife Nicola (Laura Doddington), and he's been at the centre of several huge storylines ever since. The floor fell from beneath his feet when he discovered that girlfriend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) had slept with her ex-husband – and his cousin – Grant (Ross Kemp).
