It was recently confirmed that Callum 'Halfway' Highway is returning to EastEndersand now it has come to light that his older brother Stuart Highway is joining the square.

Not only that, but he's a childhood friend of Mick Carter and he's set to cause some drama with the landlord.

The newcomer is originally from the East End and following his arrival he and Mick are set to get on like a house on fire. However, it looks like things may take a turn for the worse as the pair begin to channel their younger selves and get up to a bit of trouble.

Eek!

As kids Stuart was a bad influence on Mick, so what will the pair get up to? And how will the rest of the Carter family cope with his arrival?

On joining the BBC One soap Ricky Champ, who will play the newbie, has said: "I’m so happy to be part of this brilliant team of people on this great show that I grew up watching.

"Look out Albert Square … Stuart’s coming!"

Mick hasn't had the easiest of times recently; after cheating on his wife Linda with his daughter-in-law Whitney, he got involved in the New Year's Day heist and almost lost the Vic.

We hope he doesn't get up to too much trouble with Stuart...
