Danny Dyer as Mick Carter
(Eastenders)
The casting news that had everyone in Soap Land dying in anticipation this time last year was the word that film star Danny Dyer was going to be joining the cast of Eastenders as new landlord of The Queen Vic, Mick Carter. Dyer didn’t disappoint when he finally appeared on screen last Christmas and has been at the heart of all the drama in Albert Square since his arrival, proving to be one of the most popular additions to Soap in quite some time.
