SINCE her return to Albert Square, Linda Carter has been continuously squabbling with Janine Butcher.
But after yet another spat in EastEnders, her reliance on the bottle takes over again.
Walford villain Janine (played by Charlie Brooks) is doing everything she can to push Linda’s (Kellie Bright) buttons and embarrass her in front of Mick Carter (Danny Dyer).
Next week, both women have another bitter exchange and Linda returns to Sharon Watts’ (Letitia Dean) home, ready to drink.
But this could have some heavy consequences for the former Vic landlady.
Over at Sharon’s house, concerns over Linda’s drinking are growing – and Janine overhears Jada Lennox sharing her worries with Zack Hudson.

Jada is worried about Linda being drunk around the children and Zack encourages her to stand her ground and turn to Martin Fowler (James Bye).
Later on, Zack gives Linda an ultimatum, telling her she should stop drinking so much unless she wants to be thrown out.
This leaves both Linda and her daughter Nancy stunned.
As Nancy reels, Mick suggests they throw a Jubilee party in the Square and Janine offers to help.
Former spouses and childhood sweethearts Linda and Mick clearly still have a connection, as it becomes clear in later scenes of EastEnders.
In The Vic, Mick mentions the party and Linda interjects, sharing her enthusiasm.
However as they share some laughs, Mick catches himself and stops, leaving Linda feeling pushed out.
Later, Linda searches through Mick’s phone and sees that he has been researching intimacy issues.
BBC One viewers perhaps know all about Mick and Janine’s lack of intimacy.
The Vic landlord confided in Mitch Baker about his struggles before coming clean to his new other half.
While she has tried to be understanding, this has remained a major obstacle for Janine as she wants to take her relationship with Mick to the next level.
Meanwhile, many Square residents are reminding Janine of Mick and Linda’s connection.
But will her manipulative tactics to get rid of Linda really work?
