Many fans of EastEnders are buzzing with excitement over the possibility of Mick Carter making a return this Christmas. However, it may not be in the way that everyone expects.
For a while now, there have been questions surrounding the fate of his ex-wife, Linda Carter, who has been struggling with her alcohol addiction. In October, paparazzi photos surfaced of former stars Maddy Hill and Danny Hatchard, who played Nancy and Lee Carter, filming outside of a church. Along with them were Johnny Carter and Elaine Peacock, but Linda was nowhere to be seen.
Rumors have been swirling about Linda's future in the show, with some speculating that her character may be killed off. New spoilers for the upcoming episode on Monday 16 December hint at a life-changing event for Linda. Some fans have even theorized that the episode may be inspired by A Christmas Carol, with Linda being shown versions of her past, present, and future. And this is where the possibility of Mick's return comes into play.
One fan on Reddit posted their theory that Mick will appear as a guide for Linda, showing her what may happen if she continues to drink. This could explain the leaked set photos of the whole Carter family reunited and dressed in pink. Others have mused that Mick's ghost could appear to Linda in a similar way that Roxy spoke to Amy during her therapy session. He may tell her that he will always love her but that she needs to get clean for the sake of their children. He could also give her the reassurance that it is okay to move on without him and find love again when she is ready.
Another fan suggested that the episode could be a Christmas Carol-style hallucination for both Linda and Mick. Linda may see Mick as a hallucination and experience different scenarios, such as what would happen if she continues to drink.
It's been a rough couple of years for Linda, with her turning to alcohol again after the apparent death of her husband Mick in 2022. Things only got worse when rapist Dean Wicks showed up in Walford, and Linda later killed Keanu Taylor in order to protect her best friend Sharon Watts.
With rumors swirling about Linda's potential exit from the show after eleven years, actress Kellie Bright added fuel to the fire with a cryptic Instagram post showing her holding a piece of pottery engraved with the words "THE END." Could this mean that Linda's death will be a Dickensian-inspired hoax?
