Shirley Carter's Comeback after Year-Long Absence?
Die-hard EastEnders fans are buzzing with excitement as they believe they have cracked the code on the unexpected return of a beloved character who has been absent from the screen for a whole year.
Shirley Carter, portrayed by Linda Henry, bid farewell to the soap last year, unable to cope with the tragic loss of her son Mick.
However, fans are now convinced that Shirley will make a sensational comeback to assist The Six, a group of characters currently embroiled in a captivating whodunnit storyline.
A Fan Theory Takes Flight
In a Reddit thread, one enthusiast expressed their belief, stating, "She definitely needs to come back and sort her bloody son out. Does she still have shares in the pub? I'm lost now as to who owns what. I think Linda's mum/George bought Mick's shares off of Janice, but I thought Shirley had some too."
Another fan chimed in, "I hope she's back soon. Everyone in The Six, except Linda, has an outsider they could possibly trust. Linda's got her dope of a mum and a stepdad she's known for less than a year, therefore no one. Despite their ups and downs, I think Shirl would be there for her. Linda will completely crack up soon without support. She's been on the verge for a while."
Responding to this theory, another fan commented, "OHHHHHHHH this is such a good observation, I hope you are right! If the subtext of the storyline is 'women stick together,' then Shirley being there for Linda after all their agro over the years would provide some relief to this dark story."
The Awaited Return
According to The Celeb Report, Shirley is indeed set to return to EastEnders after actress Linda Henry took a well-deserved break from the show.
While fans eagerly anticipate Shirley's comeback, they can only imagine the impact she will have on The Six and the thrilling whodunnit mystery that has captured viewers' attention.
