Ben Mitchell and Stuart Highway Return for Explosive EastEnders Funeral
So, here’s some big EastEnders news that’s got fans talking — Max Bowden and Ricky Champ are making a dramatic return to Walford later this autumn! Yep, they're stepping back into their old roles as Ben Mitchell and Stuart Highway, but don’t expect a happy homecoming. Their return is tied to a funeral, and in typical EastEnders fashion, emotions are set to run high and secrets might come tumbling out.
The funeral in question is for Jonno — Callum and Stuart’s father — and let’s just say he wasn’t exactly a well-loved man in the Square. Known for being violent and homophobic, Jonno’s death brings a complicated mix of grief, tension, and unresolved trauma for his sons. So, as Stuart returns with his wife Raine, and Ben is granted a day release from prison (yes, he’s still locked up in the U.S. for that fraud scheme), the stage is set for a stormy reunion.

What makes things even more intense is the current state of Ben’s relationship with Callum. While Ben's been away, Callum has cheated on him — with Johnny, no less — and it looks like those feelings might not be going away any time soon. So, Ben’s return is far from the tearful reunion he may have imagined. Instead, he’s walking straight into a messy love triangle and a family gathering filled with unresolved issues.
And remember, this is Walford — nothing ever goes smoothly, even when it’s just for a couple of episodes. While both Ben and Stuart are back only briefly, it’s been hinted that a lot could happen in that short time. In fact, the BBC even teased that just because Ben’s on day release doesn’t mean he won’t stir up major drama… or maybe even try to make a run for it?
It’s also worth mentioning that Max Bowden’s return is being seen as more than just a guest appearance. There are whispers that this stint might open the door for him to return full-time, especially under the soap’s new executive producer Ben Wadey, who apparently had Bowden on his wish list from the start.
So, between old tensions, new betrayals, and a very volatile family farewell, these upcoming EastEnders episodes are not ones to miss. Buckle up — because even a funeral in Walford can be the beginning of something explosive.
