The uncertainty has sparked a flurry of discussion on social media, as one suggested on Reddit: 'So we know Linda and Elaine are selling The Vic.
'Are they leaving the show or will they remain on the Square?
'And if they're remaining, where are they going to be living and what will they do?
'Elaine can retire, but Linda doesn't really have any skills beyond landlady.
'I really hope Kellie Bright doesn't leave as I think she's one of the better actors the show has.'
Another viewer echoed the concern, saying: 'They should both leave; hard as it may be to admit; Linda and Mick were a package and she's rubbish without him just as he'd be crap without her.
'I've had enough of her wearing pink and getting drunk; I mean it's been 12 years and what else does she do apart from that?! She needs to leave and so does Elaine! Nothing here for either of them.'
However, others said they were jumping to conclusions.
'Nothing's been said about them leaving, not even rumours,' one fan replied.
'Speaking of, Max is supposedly coming back — they wouldn't get rid of Linda and, in turn, the drama of Max finding out about Annie.'
Linda Carter sinks to all-time low in gross EastEnders scene - as alcoholism spirals
Linda's had plenty of storylines beyond the pub — alcoholism, losing Mick, and the affair with Max.
Kellie has portrayed Linda since 2013, and quickly became one of the most recognisable faces on EastEnders.
Arriving with her actor Danny Dyer playing her on-screen husband Mick, Kellie's stories involved sexual assault, alcoholism, and the death of Mick in 2022.
Her mum Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) joined the soap in 2023.
She resolved to get her daughter back on the straight and narrow and off the booze.
The pair are now selling The Queen Vic - with EastEnders accidentally leaked the spoiler earlier this year.
The Sun later revealed Albert Square's next landlady at the Queen Vic pub is Kat Moon.

Fringe benefits from Miriam Margolyes for the Cambridge Footlights
Your Edinburgh festival article ('It's a brigade of old gits!' Miriam Margolyes, Andy Linden and the older performers storming Edinburgh, 12 August) mentions Miriam Margolyes' appearance in the 1963 Cambridge Footlights revue. I stage-managed that show and have many happy memories of it. The custom was that only one girl student would be included in the cast, something Miriam fiercely disapproved of. Still etched in my memory is her line as she sashayed down to front centre stage: 'Here I come, one rose in a bunch of pansies!' It was an end-of-an-era moment – the following year there were two girls in the FellWinchester Nesrine Malik says 10 out of 14 recent posts on X by Keir Starmer were about immigration and small-boat arrivals (Here's the truth about Britain's immigration hysteria: Starmer and co have whipped it up to get cheap votes, 11 August).
