More info Soap enthusiasts are always on the edge of their seats for upcoming story arcs and twists, but EastEnders fans are especially thrilled with the recent glimpses of Linda Carter in upcoming episodes. They're exclaiming that "classic Linda is back" after spotting some spoiler stills and can hardly contain themselves over the anticipated drama. Kellie Bright's character, who arrived at Albert Square alongside her on-screen husband Mick Carter, portrayed by Danny Dyer, has been capturing hearts since December 2013. The Queen Vic's very own landlady seems poised for a nostalgic return to her famed ways in the show's imminently airing scenes, leaving fans beside themselves with excitement. Fans have been making their feelings known on X, previously referred to as Twitter, with one jubilant viewer posting: "NOBODY MOVE. MY FAVOURITE EVER LINDA HAIRSTYLE FROM 2013/14 IS BACK." This was swiftly followed by another, who recalled: "Her first appearance on the 19th December 2013. I cannot wait to see her back in this hairstyle - CLASSIC LINDA." The sharing of the news has sent waves through the EastEnders community. An excited fan commented: "OMG? Welcome back 2014 Linda." Another excitedly remarked: "Her hair is finally down!" And yet another shared: "Love how ever since she came back Linda has just been the oracle of wisdom and just essential to the community." Since making her much-anticipated return to Albert Square earlier this year after a stint in rehab, Linda has been a pillar of support in Walford. Last year, the show's audience saw the landlady suffer a heartbreaking relapse, drowning her sorrows in alcohol following Bernie Taylor (played by Clair Norris) accusing her of Keanu Taylor's (portrayed by Danny Walters) demise. The gripping Christmas 2023 storyline had viewers on the edge of their seats as Linda grappled with the repercussions of her actions. Come February, she made a triumphant return during the EastEnders' 40th anniversary, greeted by her near and dear ones despite initial challenges; notably, the Knights were still dealing with the aftermath of Cindy's dramatic Christmas Day incident. Linda's powerful journey into rehab was propelled by a specially devised episode that broke away from the usual format, portraying her haunting vision of her own demise, which was a pivotal moment that propelled her towards recovery.

Though what lies ahead for Linda remains uncertain, enthusiasts of the show are full of hope. Having been embraced by fans for over a decade, the anticipation surrounding her future on EastEnders is palpable. Amid many reactions to her latest appearances, one fan took to social media to exclaim: "LINDA BERNADETTE CARTER. OUR KIND, CARING SUPPORTIVE QUEEN!" Others also praised Kellie Bright's portrayal, with one viewer tweeting: "Linda Carter in her Agony Aunt era. OBSESSED!" Another said: "I love how ever since she got back from rehab, she's been inserting herself into nearly every storyline, yet it never seems out of place or forced - truly the people's princess." A fellow soap enthusiast also shared: "Linda Carter changing her occupation every day has been the best thing to watch." EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer
