CHANGE is coming to Linda Carter after the supposed death of her husband, Mick.
EastEnders producer Chris Clenshaw teased a major storyline for the landlady – one that’s never been done before.
Troubled times have come to Linda Carter
She’s dealing with the aftermath of Mick’s sudden disappearance
But there is a future for her without him
Actor Danny Dyer bowed out of the BBC One program on Christmas Day as his character dived into the sea in an attempt to save Linda after a shocking accident.
The Vic landlord disappeared, leading fans to believe he may have died.
While the Cockney star moved on, much like Charlie Brooks, actress Kellie Bright remains with her on-screen alter ego picking up the pieces.
The Carter matriarch has been left to grieve in the aftermath of Mick’s disappearance – but she’ll soon embark on a new chapter.
EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw promised she’d still be a part of the Square’s ups and downs.
“Linda has cemented herself as a modern day matriarch and we have big plans ahead for her”, Chris first teased.
“Kellie is going to start shooting something in January that goes out in February and it’s something that we as a show haven’t done before.”
“Linda’s at the centre of that.”
Kellie Bright also recently spoke about her character’s future in Walford, without giving too much away.
“I’m staying for the foreseeable future”, she told the Daily Star.
“I’m still having a great time there and I’ve always said I’ve loved it and I feel quite excited about what the future might bring for Linda.”
“It’s going to be a brand new chapter for her and I don’t know what that looks like.”
But before she can move on, Linda is getting accustomed to a new life without Mick.
The pair were seemingly on the right track when they decided to mend their relationship.
Mick had an epiphany about his love for Linda when he found out just how far his pregnant wife Janine Butcher had gone to keep them apart.
They both risked their lives to bring Janine to justice but the villain eventually got what she deserved when she was hauled away in a police car.
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
