EastEnders' infamous criminal Gray Atkins returns

Walford’s infamous serial killer Gray Atkins returns to EastEnders as Toby-Alexander Smith reprises the role for a short stint.

Gray left Albert Square back in 2022 when he was incarcerated for his many crimes, including the murders of Walford’s beloved residents, Chantelle Atkins, Kush Kazemi and Tina Carter.

Currently serving a life sentence, Gray enlists the help of his grandmother Sheila (Sheila Ruskins) to get close to ex-wife Chelsea Fox when news of son Jordan’s accident reaches him…

Whilst his motives are currently unknown, it’s safe to say that even from afar, Gray will do his best to inflict chaos on those that used to be closest to him… 

Speaking on his return, Toby-Alexander Smith said: "It’s been very surreal returning to EastEnders and stepping back into Gray’s shoes. He’s one of the most complex characters I’ve had the opportunity to play and revisiting him after several years has been an exciting challenge to get my teeth into. Exploring who Gray is now has been, fascinating, and I’m excited for the audience to see this version of him and watch the storyline play out." 

Ben Wadey, EastEnders Executive Producer added: “We’re delighted to welcome Toby-Alexander Smith back to the role of Gray Atkins. Although his character remains in prison, it will soon become apparent to viewers that Gray’s physical separation from Walford is no match for his levels of manipulation.”
