"Get Johnny Week" is an "EastEnders" storyline that reunited the popular characters Phil and Grant Mitchell (aka the Mitchell brothers) in 2006. Actor Ross Kemp, who played Grant continuously from 1990 to 1999, was persuaded to
Grant Mitchell (EastEnders) return, Kemp commented, "When I was approached about returning to "EastEnders" for Barbara's final episodes, it was something I could not turn down. Barbara is a very close friend so when I learned of the storyline, it felt right that the Mitchell brothers are reunited with their mother for the last time. I am really looking forward to going back to "EastEnders" and filming what are set to be some classic "EastEnders" episodes." Kemp returned to filming on 6 April 2016.
