December 5th 2024.
Linda Carter was struggling to find joy in tonight's episode of EastEnders. Despite the festive atmosphere, she couldn't shake off the overwhelming grief and trauma that had consumed her since her partner Mick Carter went missing in 2022. It had been a year since Mick disappeared, after a heated confrontation with Janine Butcher that ended with him setting off on a boat, believing Linda was still out there after a car accident. But moments later, it was confirmed that Linda had made it to shore, leaving the Carters to assume that Mick had tragically died due to the freezing water and his lack of swimming skills.
As if losing Mick wasn't enough, Linda's life took another dramatic turn when she ended up killing Keanu Taylor in 2024. Since then, she had been struggling to keep her dark secret hidden, turning to alcohol as a way to cope. But her addiction had only worsened over time, with no one in her family knowing the full extent of her struggles.
In the latest episode, Linda was serving drinks behind the bar while also indulging in a few drinks herself. When Alfie Moon struck up a conversation with her, the topic of Christmas brought back memories of a happier time. Linda couldn't help but think about how different her life was just a few years ago. Mick was alive, their children Lee, Nancy, and Johnny were all together, and everything seemed perfect.
But now, as she looked around the pub, the stark contrast between her two worlds hit Linda hard. She couldn't hold back the tears as she poured herself another drink. Alfie, being the caring friend that he is, tried to offer some words of comfort, but it was clear that nothing could ease Linda's pain.
This emotional moment is just a glimpse into the difficult times ahead for Linda. She will soon face a tough decision between choosing alcohol and pushing her family away, or accepting their support and trying to overcome her addiction. The filming pictures from earlier this year, which showed cast members filming Linda's funeral, have left fans wondering if this episode is a hint at the tragic end to her storyline.
