One look at Pat and Frank could have knocked Grant out with his massive erection.

@mm91ie If Grant had laid a finger on Frank, it would have probably resulted in Mr Mitchell doing bit of stretch in the scrubs like when he assualted the copper in 93. Though Frank was trying to provoke him, he had lot more people in that pub, who would have probably backed him up over Grant, firstly being a long standing member of the community and ex licencee, not to mention, there were one or two people, like Frank, who would have liked to have seen Grant pay for what he did to Eddie.

yeah grant got on well with pete but phil would never have let grant hurt frank, phil did not want any trouble and if grant hit frank he would have been in serious trouble with the law and i think grant knew that.

[MeBenHalpin]

@mm91ie Grant was smart enough to back away from trouble for once, as he knew what sort of damage he could inflict on Frank,Pete or anyone else who goaded him, secondly don't think it would have gone that far anyway, as like you say, Phil always had way of keeping his younger brother on a tight leash, probably pulling him aside and warning him of the consequences, if he put another foot wrong.

[mm91ie]

@ardbastard1 yeah pete would have stepped in, and i think phil would have stopped grant from attacking frank, the pub was full of people and everyone would have held him back, besides that black guy in the pink purple shirt looks pretty big he would have been able to intervene and break it up.

@ardbastard1 When the Mitchells first arrived in Walford towards the end of February 1990, the writers were very clever just introducing them as pair of jack the lad mechanics, keeping both their dark sides well hidden for the first year, but once Grant struck out violently at Eddie Royle, you began to realise there was certainly more to these two meathead mechanics than meets the eye. Besides Pete, think there were a few residents, who didn't quite know how to take the new landlord.

[ardbastard1]

@MeBenHalpin Oh yeah - that's what I'm saying. I don't think anyone was scared of Phil or Grant as early 1991, at that point they had been in Walford for about 18 months, were quite friendly with pretty much everyone & the square hadn't witnessed their violent sides yet, they just seemed like a couple of 'jack the lads', so there wasn't any cause to feel threatened to confront them on an issue at this stage. I think it was just Pete didn't really give a shit about what happened to Eddie,bth.

[MeBenHalpin]

@ardbastard1 Then remember Pete uttering back that he would have stepped in to help Frank, if things had got nasty with the Mitchells that night, but believe that when i see it, as firstly i agree with you, like most of the residents he didn't give two hoots for Eddie Royle, then secondly he tried to tackle both Mitchell brothers over fitting up his old market pal Jackie Stone, which didn't go down too well, especially when he discovered Ian was the real culprit.

[ardbastard1]

@MeBenHalpin Yeah, you're right, Frank did help Pete hunt down Wilmott-Brown. I even remember Frank making it clear to Pete that he'd help him because that's what friends do - "even though you didn't back me up in my little trouble with the Mitchell boys last year" where Frank's words. I don't think Pete cared enough to go to bat in Eddie Royal's defence, they weren't exactly the best of friends; Frank was trying to rally the troops, but people didn't share Frank's passion for the task.
