SHOCK: Linda Carter gets devastating ultimatum after hitting rock bottom in EastEnders – and it could be ꜰᴀᴛᴀʟ
EASTENDERS’ Linda Carter receives a devastating ultimatum after hitting rock bottom – and it could be ꜰᴀᴛᴀʟ.
Linda (Kellie Bright) has struggled with alcohol addiction over a number of years.
Recently, she resorted to drinking as a means of coping with the guilt of ᴋɪʟʟɪɴɢ Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) to save best friend Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).
In upcoming scenes, Johnny (Charlie Suff) is heartbroken when Ollie (Harry Farr) shares disturbing details of Linda’s drunken behaviour.
Johnny confronts his mum about the impact of her drinking, but she turns on him.
Packing a bag, Linda announces she’s leaving for Sharon’s place.
In the meantime, Sharon promises to help Johnny by sorting Linda out.
Linda receives a dressing down from her BFF and she starts to head home but has a nasty encounter with Bernie (Clair Norris).
When going to the Minute Mart, she tries to buy booze although Alfie (Shane Richie) won’t sell it to her.
Undeterred, Linda simply takes the drink anyway.
Alfie relays this all to Johnny, before it transpires Sharon’s place was broken into after Linda left the door open.
Sharon arrives home to discover she’s been burgled.
As this unfolds, Linda’s shocking behaviour continues to bring disgrace to her and pain to her loved ones.
Following difficult conversations with Alfie and Johnny, she proceeds to knock back vodka.
Phil (Steve McFadden) and Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) come to Linda’s rescue, offering to attend a meeting with her.
After Linda agrees to this arrangement, Johnny is thrilled she wants to recover.
Her mum Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) returns from her honeymoon to find the depths Linda’s fallen to.
She resolves to get her daughter back on the straight and narrow.
Unfortunately, a shocking and devastating day makes Elaine realise she can no longer enable Linda – giving her daughter an ultimatum.
EastEnders continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
