Linda's heart raced as she watched the latest episode of EastEnders. She couldn't believe the twists and turns that were revealed, and she eagerly leaned in to catch every detail. But as the episode progressed, Linda's horror only grew.
The article she was reading contained spoilers from an upcoming episode that hadn't aired on BBC One yet, but was available on BBC iPlayer. Linda was shocked to learn that Drew Peacock, the mysterious drag queen who had visited the Queen Vic, was actually connected to her past.
Elaine had kicked Drew out of the pub as soon as they laid eyes on each other, leaving Linda and Johnny curious about the stranger's identity. In tonight's episode, Linda finally found Drew in the laundrette and was taken aback when he mentioned knowing her when she was a child. Drew urged Linda to seek out answers from Elaine if she wanted to know more.
So that's exactly what Linda did. She headed upstairs to the pub to confront Elaine about her past. Elaine confirmed Linda's worst fears - her father John had had an affair when Linda was a child. At first, Linda thought that Drew knew the woman her father was sleeping with, but then Johnny and Elaine revealed that Drew was actually the other woman.
Linda was completely horrified by the revelation. She couldn't accept that her father was gay, as he had always been "such a man" in her eyes. With a drink in her hand, Linda couldn't understand why her beloved father didn't confide in anyone, especially her, about his true feelings. Elaine explained that she had kept the secret out of love for her partner, but she also hated the situation she was in.
Elaine then dropped another bombshell - she believed that the guilt and shame of keeping his secret led to John having a heart attack. Linda was stunned and couldn't believe that her father's death was connected to his sexuality.
In a fit of anger and hurt, Linda lashed out at her mother, calling her a "selfish old slag." Elaine couldn't take it anymore and slapped Linda across the face before running away. Linda was left crying on her bed with a picture of Mick, her husband, in her arms.
Meanwhile, Elaine and Johnny went for a walk outside. As they reached The Albert, they spotted Drew on the balcony, enjoying a drink. He raised his glass and smiled at them, prompting Elaine to head inside. Linda couldn't help but wonder what kind of conversation was taking place between Drew and her mother and what other secrets would be revealed.
As Linda tried to come to terms with this huge revelation about her childhood, she couldn't help but wonder what her next move would be. She was determined to uncover the truth and find closure, no matter how difficult it may be.
