Courtney Mitchell is the daughter of Tiffany and Grant Mitchell, and currently lives with Grant in Portugal.

Storylines[]

1997-1999[]

Courtney is born prematurely by caesarean section in March 1997. It was unknown at her birth if her father was Grant or Tony Hills but a DNA test revealed that Grant was her father. Grant and Tiffany separated and Tiffany was about to leave with Courtney on New Year's Eve 1998, but was run over and killed by Frank Butcher - she was chasing Grant because he had snatched Courtney at the time.

Grant and Courtney move to Rio de Janeiro in October 1999, and Courtney lives with her dad and stepmother Carla.

2006[]

Courtney returns to London in March 2006 with Grant. Courtney is mischievous, often refusing to do as she is told, answers back and continually bullies and argues with her cousin, Ben. Ben tells Courtney that Grant killed her mother, Tiffany, causing various problems in Courtney's behaviour and she initially refuses to believe Grant when he said Tiffany's death was an accident.

When Grant's wife Carla shows up, Courtney shows her obvious dislike. Grant decides a fresh start is what they need and decides to move to Portugal. However, on 9 June 2006, Grant dumps Carla after discovering she is planning to fleece him and run off with another man so Courtney and Grant move to Portugal alone. Courtney was heard on the phone to Peggy in 2010.

2016[]

In August 2016, Courtney reads a text on Grant's phone from Sharon Mitchell and meets her at a café, saying that Grant is not coming. Courtney asks why she and Grant were not invited to Peggy's funeral, to which Sharon says that they were. Courtney follows Sharon to the police station, where she sees Grant outside, and Grant tells Courtney he got arrested for being drunk and rude to a police officer, and she later takes an instant dislike to Belinda Peacock when Grant flirts with her. When they talk about the past, Grant tells Courtney that Phil killed Peggy. Courtney storms off when Grant gets angry about her meeting Sharon. Annoyed with the lack of attention from Grant, Courtney refuses to let him stay with her. Courtney visits Phil and Sharon to see if they have heard from Grant as he owes her money, and Sharon gives Courtney some money. Courtney tells Sharon she knows what Phil did to Peggy, but Sharon tells her it is not true.

After meeting Mark Fowler, not knowing he is her half-brother, Courtney takes a liking to him and they both tell each other at Shakil Kazemi's party they like each other. Louise Mitchell tells Sharon about them, prompting her and Ian Beale to find them. Sharon, Ian and Phil find out nothing happened between Courtney and Mark. Courtney and Louise witness 55 Victoria Road being broken into and realise Ben and Jay Brown have been kidnapped. Courtney and Louise both hide in the bedroom and in the midst of the panic, Courtney rings Grant for help during the struggle. Shortly afterwards Mark comforts Courtney only to be confronted by Grant who assumes he is one of the attackers. On 9th September 2016, she departed to Portugal with Grant.
