Linda sat in her living room, feeling heavy with grief. Her family surrounded her, trying to offer words of comfort after the recent events that had shaken their lives. The latest episode of EastEnders had not yet aired, but Linda had already watched it on BBC iPlayer, and the spoilers were weighing heavily on her mind.
It had been over a year since Mick Carter's death, but the pain and heartbreak were still fresh for his wife. She had never truly recovered from the day he went missing at sea, and now with Father's Day approaching, she found herself struggling to cope with her youngest son Ollie's questions about his dad's whereabouts.
In a moment of emotional vulnerability, Linda opened up to her mother Elaine and son Johnny about her struggles. She had even dreamt of Mick, walking with him in a park and sharing a bag of chips. But reality soon set in, as the family discussed whether or not they should celebrate Father's Day at all.
After some deliberation, they decided to offer a free "pie and pint" special at the Queen Vic, with the help of Stevie Mitchell. The plan was to bring the community together and honor Mick's memory. But as the family tried to move forward, Linda couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.
Meanwhile, Mick's absence was keenly felt by everyone in Walford. His plan to reconnect with his estranged son Billy involved a fishing trip and a pub celebration afterwards. But whether or not Billy would agree to it remained to be seen.
As if Linda's grief wasn't overwhelming enough, she was then faced with a new challenge. Bernie Taylor, the sister of Keanu - the man Linda had accidentally killed - approached her for permission to hold Keanu's wake at the Queen Vic. Linda was frozen with shock and guilt, knowing that she was the one responsible for his death.
Her mother stepped in, unaware of Linda's involvement in Keanu's death, and offered the venue for free. But for Linda, it was her worst nightmare come true. She couldn't even fathom how she would get through the day, let alone the funeral and wake.
Actress Kellie Bright, who plays Linda, shared her character's thoughts on the matter. "For Linda, it is her worst nightmare. So she’s worrying about how she’s going to get through the day. I think there is always something in her mind about Christmas – it’s a never ending nightmare," she explained.
With the weight of her guilt and grief becoming too much to bear, Linda fled the situation and found herself alone in the barrel store. Her son Johnny and friend Sharon found her collapsed and sobbing, unable to contain her emotions any longer. In a moment of desperation, she cried out that she had killed Keanu and deserved to be punished.
The future seemed uncertain for Linda as she struggled to come to terms with her actions. Would her secret be exposed, and would she ever find peace and closure? Only time would tell. But one thing was for sure - the impact of these tragic events would be felt by the entire community for a long time to come.
As the episode ended, the screen faded to black and the credits rolled. But for Linda and her loved ones, the story was far from over. And for the viewers, it was just another reminder of the gripping and emotional journey that is EastEnders.
