Elaine Peacock was finally back in EastEnders after her long absence, but she was in for some bad news. As soon as she arrived, she was shocked to see her daughter Linda Carter's condition had taken a turn for the worse.
It had been a tumultuous year for Linda, who had been struggling with her alcoholism. Things got even more complicated when she murdered Keanu Taylor and tried to frame her rapist, Dean Wicks. Just when she thought her ordeal was over, Nish Panesar took the blame for Keanu's death. But then, Keanu's sister Bernie showed up in Walford and threatened to reveal the truth.
Feeling overwhelmed, Linda cancelled her meeting with her recovery coordinator and resorted to drinking a bottle of vodka behind The Queen Vic. This didn't go unnoticed, as her son Johnny was dismayed to see his younger brother Ollie being affected by their mother's drinking.
Things only got worse as Linda continued to drink and even threw out some patrons of the pub in front of Ollie. Johnny decided to confront her and pleaded with her to change her ways for the sake of their family. But instead of listening, Linda lashed out and decided to stay with her best friend Sharon Watts.
Unfortunately, Sharon wasn't exactly in a forgiving mood either, as she had made a pact with Johnny to help Linda get back on the right path. But Linda's behavior only seemed to spiral out of control, as she embarrassed her sons in public and refused to listen to their pleas for her to consider her actions.
When Bernie crossed her path again, Linda turned to her old ways and tried to buy some alcohol from Alfie Moon at the Minute Mart. But Alfie refused to serve her, which only made her more infuriated. In a fit of anger, she stole a bottle from the shelf and ran away.
Alfie went to talk to Johnny about Linda's behavior, but they were soon hit with even more bad news. They found out that Sharon's house had been broken into because Linda had left the front door open. The whole community was appalled by Linda's actions, and even though they tried to intervene, she continued to drink and ignore their concerns.
But Johnny didn't give up on his mother. He and his family, including Phil Mitchell and Lauren Branning, offered to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with her. And to everyone's relief, Linda finally showed a glimmer of hope and expressed her desire to recover.
When Elaine returned from her honeymoon, she was shocked to learn about the severity of her daughter's situation. She promised to be there to support Linda, but as her behavior only seemed to get worse, she knew she had to take a stand. She delivered an ultimatum to Linda, hoping it would finally make her see the error of her ways.
As the community waited anxiously to see Elaine's response, they knew that no matter what, they would always be there to support Linda and her family. And with that, they all joined together to continue to be a source of strength and love for Linda during this difficult time.
