LINDA Carter returned to Albert Square after months of absence but is still fighting her alcoholism.
But when she decides to get professional help next week in EastEnders, her lingering connection with Mick is obvious.
While she filed for divorce from her estranged husband Mick (portrayed by Danny Dyer), Linda (Kellie Bright) came back to the Square in the hopes they could patch things up, ahead of Tina’s funeral.
Sadly for the former Vic landlady, Janine Butcher got to Mick first and is doing all she can to keep him by her side.
This has not only broken Linda’s heart but has also thrown her back into alcoholism and her addiction has had terrible consequences as she was kicked out of Sharon’s home.
Coming up, Mick tries to convince Martin and Zack to let Linda move back in and promises to try and make her seek professional help for her reliance on the bottle.
