Grant Mitchell

Handsome hardman Grant Mitchell was the stereotypical tough guy. He and his brother Phil styled themselves on the East End's toughest gangsters, the Kray twins, ruling Albert Square with more than just a hint of violence.

Mummy's boy Grant was a troubled soul, but somehow he brought out the mothering instinct in every woman he met. Perhaps it was that baby face and those big blue eyes.

Whatever the reason, women flocked to him and Grant could never resist. But as soon as he married them (Sharon, Tiffany), he turned violent and either drove them away or drove them to their deaths.

However, Grant has mellowed with age. Jane Beale, his most recent conquest, never saw his scary side, but her fate was also a grim one - condemned to a life with Ian Beale.

Grant currently resides in Portugal with daughter Courtney.
