Johnny Carter, a beloved character who has been absent from EastEnders for six years, is back with a bang. He quickly makes his presence felt as he rushes to the aid of his mother Linda, who is struggling with alcoholism. Linda's drinking is a result of the traumatic events of Christmas Day, when she killed Keanu Taylor in self-defense while trying to save her friend Sharon Watts from his attack.
With the help of Sharon and a few other women from Walford, Linda managed to cover up the crime by burying Keanu's body under the reopened café, now under the management of Nish Panesar. However, the guilt and trauma of that night have taken a toll on Linda, leading her back to alcohol. Her mother Elaine Peacock has been doing her best to support her, but with her husband Mick missing and presumed dead, she turns to Johnny for help.
Upon hearing from his Gran about Linda's struggles, Johnny rushes back to Walford. He is shocked and saddened to see the hold that alcohol has on his mother. As he tries to make sense of the situation, he discovers that the man who raped Linda, Dean Wicks, is back in the square. Determined to make him pay for what he did, Johnny confronts him at Beale's Eels, the fish and chip shop where he works. However, his rage takes over and he ends up punching Dean.
Johnny's initial focus is on seeking revenge for his mother, but as he spends more time in Walford, he realizes that he needs to understand the root cause of Linda's drinking. He questions his family members and learns that Dean's return triggered her relapse. Armed with this information, he goes back to confront Dean, but this time with a plan to make him leave Linda alone for good.
Johnny's friend Ben Mitchell notices his return and follows him to the pie and mash shop, where he warns him to be careful when dealing with Dean. Later, he takes Johnny for a drink with his boyfriend Callum to catch up. But Johnny's mind is still consumed with thoughts of protecting his mother. He returns to Beale's Eels and confronts Dean again, this time with a more level head. He orders him to leave Linda alone and punches him when he refuses to listen.
Johnny's top priority is Linda's well-being, and he will do whatever it takes to help her overcome her struggles. But will Linda open up to him and reveal the true reason behind her drinking? Only time will tell.
When Johnny Carter returned to EastEnders after six years, he didn't waste any time in making his presence felt. His mother, Linda, was going through a tough time, struggling with alcoholism after the traumatic events of Christmas Day. Linda had killed Keanu Taylor in self-defense as he tried to strangle her best friend Sharon. With the help of Sharon and a few other women, Linda had managed to cover up the crime by burying the body under the reopened cafe. But the weight of her actions had taken a toll on her, leading her back to alcohol.
Meanwhile, Linda's mother Elaine had been trying her best to support her, but she was running out of options. With Linda's husband Mick presumed dead, she turned to the one person who could possibly get through to her - her son Johnny. Johnny had heard from his grandmother that things were not going well for Linda, so he returned to Walford to help his family.
As soon as he saw his mother, Johnny was devastated by the hold that alcohol had on her. He couldn't believe that she had reached this point. Johnny spent his time in the square trying to understand what had led Linda back to drinking. His search for answers led him to Elaine, who reluctantly revealed that Linda's rapist, Dean, had returned to the square. It was his return that triggered Linda's reliance on alcohol once again.
Fueled by rage and a desire for revenge, Johnny headed straight for Beale's Eels to confront Dean. He was no longer the young boy that Dean used to see him as. Johnny had grown up during his time away and was now capable of standing up to Dean. But before he could do anything, his former flame, Ben, intervened and warned him to be careful. Later, Ben took Johnny for a drink with his boyfriend Callum, where they caught up and talked.
But Johnny's mind was still consumed by thoughts of Linda and what had happened to her. He couldn't let Dean get away with what he had done. So, he returned to Beale's Eels and punched Dean, demanding that he leave Linda alone. Johnny's top priority was his mother's well-being, and he was determined to protect her at all costs.
It's unclear if Linda will open up to Johnny and reveal the real reason for her struggles. But for now, Johnny is back in Walford, and he's not going to let anyone hurt his family.
