Mick was thrilled by the prospect of a fresh start, but was soon brought down to earth with a thump when Linda broke the bad news that it isn’t his baby – it’s Max Branning’s.
Next week, Linda realises she won’t be able to hide her bump for much longer and decides she needs to tell Max.
She quizzes Denise for information on Jack, who’s taken Abi to see Max is Paris.
Soap viewers know that Linda began an affair with Max Branning at the end of last year after being constantly rejected by Mick, who was struggling with a historic child abuse secret.
When Mick finally opened up to Linda, she chose him and sent Max packing.
How will Max react to the news that Linda is pregnant with his baby?
