Kemp last slipped on Grant's leather jacket in February 2025 as part of the BBC soap's 40th anniversary celebrations, when he briefly returned amid concerns about brother Phil’s (Steve McFadden) deteriorating mental health.
It was revealed earlier this year that, with Nigel's health rapidly deteriorating, he would be lured back to support him once more. Spoilers for next week's episodes show that estranged son Mark Fowler (Stephen Aaron-Sipple) is the one to put in the call to Grant, despite Sam's (Kim Medcalf) reluctance to see her brother.
The forthcoming episodes will be the first time Mark comes face-to-face with his father, having learned the truth about his parentage in 2016.
"As well as exploring Grant’s attempts to reconnect with his son Mark, it’s especially an honour to be part of Nigel’s powerful ongoing dementia storyline, which holds deep personal meaning for me due to a close family connection in real life."
Radio Times can confirm that Kemp's comeback scenes will air on Monday 27 April.

It's also an off-screen reunion for Kemp and Medcalf, who are working together again after 20 years. Sam was portrayed by Danniella Westbrook the last time the characters shared a scene.
On the return, executive producer Ben Wadey said: "We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Ross back once more to the legendary role of Grant. The Mitchells remain one of EastEnders’ defining dynasties, and we can’t wait to see them reunited again.
