Linda was definitely not the most popular person on Albert Square at the moment. The events of Christmas Day in EastEnders had taken a toll on everyone, especially Linda Carter, the killer. After stabbing Keanu Taylor and hiding his body, Linda's drinking had spiraled out of control yet again. And it was becoming more and more evident to her fellow residents in Albert Square.
According to actress Kellie Bright, who plays Linda, "She has been leaning into her alcoholism and I think it’s safe to say that she’s drinking every day to numb herself. I don’t think she’s coping." Linda was desperately trying to find ways to cope with the guilt she felt for what she had done to Keanu and the other women involved. Kathy had to put Rocky in jail, Sharon had disappeared and Linda believed she hated her, Stacey kept telling her to pull herself together but she couldn't, and Denise was losing her grip on reality. And it was all weighing heavily on Linda's shoulders.
The return of Karen Taylor to Albert Square only added fuel to the fire. Linda's guilt and panic continued to mount as she was faced with Keanu's mother, who wanted answers about Christmas Day. It was unbearable for Linda and pushed her further towards the edge. But she tried to hide her struggles, even when Lauren Branning caught her secretly drinking in the Queen Vic.
Lauren was quick to intervene and offered to look after Linda's daughter, Annie, to give Linda some time to sober up. But it didn't last long. When Linda was caught with a bag of hidden wine from the Minute Mart, Lauren stepped in once again and took Annie away before Linda could object. Others, like Kathy Beale and Ben Mitchell, also noticed Linda's behavior and tried to intervene, but she continued to make excuses and head to the pub.
As tensions rise between the members of The Six, it seems like their secret may be on the verge of being exposed. But for now, Linda is struggling to keep her head above water as she tries to cope with the weight of her guilt and the consequences of her actions.
