"Little is known about why Mark has returned and what he has been doing while he was away, but it will soon become clear that all is not as it seems.
 
"Mark was last seen in 2016 when he discovered that Grant was his father, after growing close to Courtney Mitchell, who at the time was unaware that she was his half-sister."
 
Actor Stephen Aaron-Sippell said: "Having grown up in East London, EastEnders has been a part of my life since childhood, and I'm thrilled to be joining not one, but two iconic Albert Square families!
 "I can't wait for viewers to see why Mark has returned, and what's in store for him in Walford."
 
Executive Producer Ben Wadey said: "We are delighted to welcome Stephen Aaron-Sippell to EastEnders and to bring Mark back to Albert Square.
 
"Viewers caught a glimpse of Mark in the New Year's Day flashforward episode, and the circumstances surrounding his upcoming involvement with the Brannings will unfold throughout the year."
