Linda Carter returns to EastEnders amid fresh heartache
Alfie's plan to help The Vic out backfires.
Linda Carter gets back to EastEnders after the dramatic events of Christmas Day to find an unpleasant surprise.
The character, played by Kellie Bright, has taken a break from her pub landlady duties following the tragic loss of her ex-husband Mick (Danny Dyer).
In new scenes, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) will meddle in Linda's affairs, reopening the pub to help his friend and trying to get some work amidst his financial problems. Needless to say, Linda won't be too pleased about Alfie's summer-in-January party.
After getting the keys to The Vic with the help of Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker), Alfie tries to revive the place by serving drinks and organising a party.
He thinks things are going brilliantly until a shocked Linda bursts in.
Seeing everyone having a good time in her pub takes a toll on her. She confronts Alfie, accusing him of not caring about her pain over losing the love of her life.
Alfie tries to make amends by organising a vigil for Mick at the pub. While they're all there to pay their respects, the police arrive with an update. What could this possibly be about?
