The Carter family were recently spotted filming scenes together on the Kent coast, suggesting a reunion between Mick and Shirley could be imminent.
Danny Dyer recently gave fans hope that it could happen, but it would depend on whether Shirley can accept the truth that her other son Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) raped Mick’s wife Linda (Kellie Bright).
“The stumbling block is whether Mick can overcome his demons so he can finally call Shirley ‘Mum’. Nothing can ever really be sorted while Dean is knocking around though,” he told Inside Soap.
