Although far from it being a happy family reunion, it seems Keanu will stop at nothing to get rid of Mitch.

But something tells us Mitch won’t be leaving quite that easily.

Actor Roger previously said: “The Taylors are an established tight-knit family on the square, so coming in as Mitch – the wild card, meant I had to hit the ground running.

“I had a brilliant time and the actors who make up the Taylor family made me feel at home instantly.

“It was love at first sight.”

Roger makes his EastEnders debut as Mitch tonight on BBC One at 8pm.
