EASTENDERS’ Linda Carter is finally moving on – two years after the tragic death of Mick.
The Queen Vic landlady is set for a brand-new romance, but with heartbreak still fresh, will she be ready to let someone in?
Fans have watched Linda struggle to cope without Mick, drowning her sorrows in booze and bad decisions.
But now, a new mystery man is about to turn her world upside down.
Will this be the fresh start she needs, or is more heartache on the horizon?
After getting the green light on her insurance payout to rebuild The Vic, Linda’s excitement is short-lived when Elaine starts calling the shots.
Frustrated, she turns her attention elsewhere – and with a little nudge from Kim, she agrees to let her pal play Cupid.
While Linda initially tries to set up Johnny with Felix, she soon realises it’s time to put herself first.
Braving the dating scene, she gears up for a night out with a mystery man named Jeff – but will sparks fly, or will it be another night she’d rather forget?
Viewers know that Linda lost the love of her life after Mick swam into the sea, believing that Linda was still trapped in the sinking car.
Although Mick’s body was never found, the Carter family and Walford residents grieved his loss and had a funeral.
Since then, Linda has struggled to stay sober and look after her young kids, Olly and Annie.
