The BBC One soap aired some big developments about Mick this week, despite Dyer's exit from the role back during Christmas 2022.
However, Linda's new partner Max Branning (Jake Wood) discovered from Janine that this was a scam to ensure she didn't lose the life insurance payout she previously received when Mick was declared dead, meaning Mick's body had not been found, and his fate remained a question mark.
When speaking to Radio Times at our BFI screening for Disney+'s Rivals on Tuesday (10 November 2026), Danny was asked about his continued work with showrunner Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who created Mick and Linda Carter back in 2013.
Of course, we couldn't help but ask Dyer about the 'discovery' of Mick's body this week.
Dyer then jokingly mused: " Is he dead? I mean, where the f**k's he been?"
When I revealed my hopes that Mick could somehow make a miraculous return to reunite with Linda ahead of actress Kellie Bright's exit from the soap in 2027, he revealed his love for the characters and their importance to Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who left his role as the soap's boss in 2016.
He revealed: "I love Mick and Dominic; Mick is Dominic's dad. Mick and Linda are based on his own family, and so it was a real honour to play his dad, whom he lost when he was very young."
Finally, Dyer reiterated: "I love Mick, and I love Kellie, my Linda, my El."
In the meantime, Linda has more than enough to deal with in the run-up to her exit.
Lee himself is currently struggling with alcoholism, but he finally turned a corner this week when he asked his mum, Linda, for help.
Will all go without a hitch? Will Linda discover Max and Janine's lie about Mick's fate?
