Former EastEnders stars Danny Dyer and Linda Henry are back together, and it’s making fans’ hearts skip a beat! After their iconic roles as Mick and Shirley Carter on the BBC soap, the duo is reuniting for Season 2 of Mr. Bigstuff on Sky Max and NOW. Dyer, who left EastEnders in 2022, is thrilled to be working alongside Linda once more, but he does have one regret: he wished they’d shared more screen time together as mother and son.
🔥 Danny Dyer and Linda Henry: A Mr. Bigstuff Reunion!
Dyer, known for his portrayal of Mick Carter, will return to our screens in Mr. Bigstuff, a comedy series where he stars alongside Ryan Sampson as polar-opposite brothers. As part of a stellar second season, Linda Henry joins the show as Pam, a mechanic—a role that adds a layer of excitement for fans of her portrayal as Shirley Carter in EastEnders. The chemistry between Dyer and Henry is palpable, and their reunion brings back memories of their unforgettable EastEnders days.
“I love Linda,” Danny Dyer expressed fondly in an interview. He admitted that his biggest regret from his time on the soap was not having enough scenes with her. Dyer added, “I wanted more scenes with her”—a sentiment that many viewers can relate to, as Mick and Shirley’s dynamic was one of the most beloved on the show.
💔 No EastEnders Return for Danny Dyer
While fans had hoped for a return of Mick Carter during EastEnders’ 40th anniversary celebrations earlier this year, Dyer revealed that he didn’t get the call. He admitted that if they had asked him to return for the milestone event, he would have gone back, but it seems like the BBC had other plans. “I think they’ve got the hump with me now,” Dyer joked during an interview.
In early 2023, Dyer had teased that Mick “could turn up in three years, smothered in seaweed”—a playful nod to his character’s dramatic exit in 2022, when Mick seemingly drowned. However, Dyer was candid about his dissatisfaction with the way his character had been written, saying, “I felt my character had lost his way. I didn’t quite know who I was playing anymore.”

As the pair dive into their new roles, fans will get to enjoy their performances in a very different setting—but one that will surely bring back memories of their EastEnders days.
