The glorious return of the Mitchell brothers to Albert Square will reveal that Grant and Phil are starting to feel the passing of Old Father Time.

In an upcoming episode Phil, played by Steve McFadden, turns to his brother and says: "New rule. No running. We can still look hard if we stand still."

But other than the unseemly image of the dastardly duo getting a bit hot under the collar after taking some exercise, it seems the boys are getting back to doing what they do best.

Ross Kemp, who plays Grant, told the Daily Star: "I think Grant gets into more fights than ever before."

And apparently Ross was lured back to the soap with a meal that would go down well with any of the Walford lads.

Talking about a meeting with the scriptwriter Tony Jordan in a pub, Ross said: "I didn't have time to discuss storylines. The only time he got to me was to have two pints of lager and two cheese sandwiches."
