All Mitchell really wants is his grandfather Walter (Trevor A Toussant) to be at his celebrations. Walter, who raised Mitchell as his own, has never missed a single one of his grandson’s birthdays but since Mitchell revealed he was gay, Walter has been knocked sideways and has struggled to accept Mitchell’s sexuality.
