Sean is currently involved in the plot to track down Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) and save her from predator Craig Ingram (Matthew James Bailey). Viewers will recall that Sean was once married to Amy’s mum, Roxy Mitchell, and was devastated when he learnt that Roxy had cheated on him with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen). Because of this, he feels incredibly protective of the teen and has gone out of his way to try to help her. Despite having spent the last few years living in Brazil, Sean dropped everything to come to Amy’s aid after being summoned by Jack last week.

Amy Mitchell ran away with Craig Ingram (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) ‘And I think that storyline coming over the next period of time is something that I’m going to, and EastEnders hopefully will, as with all of its storylines on current issues, we’re going to nail and really help a lot of people with in the future.’ Ask Metro Use AI to go deeper into the stories you care about – powered by Metro and trusted publications.
