He took an extended break from Albert Square to care for his daughter after a car crash.

But Mick Carter (played by Danny Dyer) steamed back onto EastEnders tonight by getting into a fight with Woody Woodward (Lee Ryan) which saw him strike the show’s new bad boy in the face.

In Thursday night’s episode, Danny’s character was furious when he caught Woody in bed with his-daughter-in-law, Whitney, and their argument quickly came to blows.

After a scuffle, Woody could be seen cradling his nose.

Sensing trouble, Mick’s mother Shirley (Linda Henry) came to break up the argument, ordering Woody to leave before he ‘said too much’.

But the incident is just the first of Mick’s worries. As viewers already know, Shirley sold the freehold of the Queen Vic pub without his permission, in a last-ditch bid to raise money to save Lady Di.

Speaking after Danny’s break, former EastEnders star Larry Lamb has said that the pressures of being on the show could cause many of the actors to turn to drink.

The soap legend, 69, admitted that actors on the BBC soap may be resorting to alcohol, as they work ‘under stress’.

The Gavin and Stacey actor explained to The Sun at the event: ‘There are a lot of businesses like EastEnders where people maybe get involved in drinking a bit more than they should.

The boy is back in town: Danny, 39, looked fresh faced as the first photographs of his comeback to the soap emerged on Tuesday

‘It happens with doctors and airline pilots — it happens with people working under a lot of stress.’

While he implied the pressured conditions on set caused the stars to blow off steam, he also claimed the glitzy, high-flying lifestyle that comes with being an actor can also contribute.

Danny first appeared as Mick – the landlord of the iconic pub in Walford – in December 2013, after which he became a show favourite.

 What a comeback! The 39-year-old decided with producers on the soap that he would have a month off to focus on his wellbeing
