Linda Carter, the beloved landlady of the Queen Vic, has fallen off the wagon once again. EastEnders has revealed a clue as to who might be able to help her in her ongoing battle with alcoholism. It all started last month when Bernie Taylor returned to the Square, triggering Linda's guilt over killing Bernie's brother Keanu during the previous Christmas. It was a heartbreaking relapse for Linda, who had been making progress in her sobriety.
The most recent episode of the BBC soap saw Linda get drunk at her mother Elaine Peacock's wedding reception. Despite staying sober for the ceremony, Linda couldn't resist the temptation of alcohol and ended up making a tipsy speech in front of a packed Queen Vic. She expressed her love for her stepfather George and his daughters, Gina and Anna, but also revealed a bombshell about her late father that caused quite a stir.
Linda had recently found out that her father, John, was gay and had been in a relationship with a man named Drew before his death. And to make matters more complicated, Elaine came face-to-face with Drew at her hen do, where he was booked as the event's drag queen. It was a lot for Linda to process, especially while under the influence.
As the community buzzed about Linda's revelation, her son Johnny Carter approached Phil Mitchell, who has had his own struggles with alcohol in the past. Phil, who had been Linda's sponsor during her previous recovery, looked concerned when Johnny confirmed that his mother was back on the booze. Will Phil step in once again to help Linda?
Regardless of Phil's involvement, it's clear that Linda is in for a difficult Christmas. Rumor has it that she will be at the center of an A Christmas Carol-inspired episode, where ghosts of her past will come back to haunt her. As always, EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One, or you can stream it on Player starting at 6am.
