EastEnders fans left in tears as Linda Carter says goodbye in 'end of an era'
EastEnders fans were left feeling tearful watching last night's episode, as Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) left the Queen Vic pub. Linda chose to put the boozer up for auction as she became ready to start a new chapter in her life. The Carter family has lived in the pub since 2013 and have faced a multitude of dramatic ordeals since then. In recent years, Linda has dealt with Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) getting lost at sea, murdering Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), covering up his death with The Six and earlier this year, the pub exploded as a result of Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) crashing his car into the side of the building. And that's not even the half of it! It's no surprise that Linda wants to start again. In the instalment that aired last night, she handed the keys over to Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), who became the new owner as a result of Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) gaining access to Martin Fowler's (James Bye) life insurance. To get her head around the change, Linda decided to temporarily leave Walford. Having been handed tickets for a cruise from mum Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe), she packed her belongings and waved goodbye to Albert Square. The scenes marked a massive end of an era, and fans of the BBC One soap were incredibly moved watching Linda depart. Taking to social media platform X, this fan said: 'Truly the end of an era, just glad that this time it's a decision that's been made on her terms and she's been allowed to say a proper goodbye to the old place and that next chapter of linda carter is going to be sublime, i can feel it #eastenders.' This audience member reflected on the 12 years Linda lived in the pub and wrote: 'Twelve PHENOMENAL years of having Linda Carter as landlady has come to an end. Kellie has been a powerhouse since joining the show and embodied the landlady role to perfection. 'Going to miss Linda front and centre in the Vic but excited to see what she moves onto next.' Another wrote: 'Still blows my mind that Linda first took over the pub nearly 12 (!!!) years ago, where has the time gone #EastEnders.'

EastEnders fans 'in tears' as Linda Carter makes emotional exit after revealing huge secret
EastEnders aired an emotional exit for Linda Carter today as she said goodbye to the Vic, but not before dropping a huge bombshell - and fans predict trouble ahead... It was an emotional episode of EastEnders tonight as Linda Carter said goodbye to the Vic and to Albert Square - for a while. Despite knowing she'd be back - fans were still left in tears. The Carters and Knights have officially ended their reign as landlords of the beloved pub, with Kat Slater set to return as landlady. In tonight's episode, the family finished off packing up and Linda and her children headed off for a well deserved break on a cruise, while Elaine remains in Walford. It marks the end of an era and a fresh start for the family, as Elaine persuaded Linda to tell Oscar that Annie was his half sister. Linda was reluctant to tell Oscar, adamant she didn't want Max to know. However, a cheeky Oscar didn't look like he was willing to keep the secret as he responded: "And miss his face when he finds out?" However, later on in the episode, Linda was seen begging Lauren to ask Oscar not to tell Max - as Lauren reassured her that none of them have a relationship with their father. Lauren then had another chat with Oscar, and as Linda got ready to hop into a black cab, Lauren reassured her: "It's OK, he's not going to say anything, are you?" "No," Oscar responded. "No-one wants my dad back round here." Linda thanked Oscar and proceeded to say a teary goodbye to Tracey and her mum Elaine. Fans were left in tears, as one wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Tracy & Linda's goodbye hug. I'm not crying you are," posted one fan, as another said: "Trying to cope with not seeing Linda for several weeks now that she's gone on her cruise. I'm going to miss her so bloody much." A third emotional fan penned: "It's official, Linda has left the Vic and has gone on holiday for weeks now. Her goodbye to Trace and Elaine saying she's proud of her. I'm so emotional." Others were convinced that there'd be trouble waiting for Linda upon her been revealed that Max Branning (Jake Wood) will be making a return later this year, and fans think he'll be back in the Square waiting for Linda upon her return. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter during the episode, one fan penned: "Why do I get the feeling that Max will be back on the Square by the time she comes back to Walford. Linda took a massive risk telling Oscar about Annie - I just hope Max's return doesn't trigger another relapse as Linda has done so well to stay sober." Another said: "We know Max is on his way back to Walford - but could this be what brings Max back to the Square. I hope Oscar doesn't say anything," as a third agreed: "Linda's definitely gonna return from her holiday to see that Max is back in Walford, can't wait."

EastEnders icon returns to Albert Square next week - and it's bad news for Kat
It's been an exciting week for Kat Slater this week, as she took over as landlady of the Queen Vic - but her bubble may be burst with a huge bombshell dropping next week It's been a huge week in EastEnders for Kat Slater - as she learnt she'd be the new landlady of the Vic after a surprise last minute shake-up during the auction. Kat was left elated as her family are 'back where they belong' but her bubble may be burst next week as her relationship problems continue when Alfie returns to the Square. However, he refuses to tell her where he's actually been. Viewers (and Stacey Slater) know that Alfie left for Barcelona to find his step-daughter Zoe Slater. It came after she fled from Stacey's London flat after a close run-in with her estranged mother, Kat. However, Kat is still unaware of any of this, as Alfie told her he was off to Australia to see his brother Spencer. It didn't take long for Kat to work out this was a lie, after numerous phone calls to Spencer, with Alfie never able to come to the phone. Spoilers for next week reveal that Alfie will be making his return to the Square - but Kat's left fuming over her husband's lies. On Monday night (July 21) we saw a clip of a frantic Alfie ringing from Barcelona, telling Stacey he hadn't yet found Zoe. He then said the people that Zoe owed were asking for hard cash to cover Zoe's debts. He said he needed 50,000 Euros - as Stacey told Alfie she'd received £100,000 from Martin's life insurance. What she failed to mention was that the money was going to be lent to Kat for a deposit for the Vic. Stacey later told Kat she couldn't lend her the money anymore, but after words of wisdom from Jean, Stacey had a change of heart - and Kat was victorious in taking over the Vic. Spoilers for next week reveal that Alfie will return to the Square, but it's not a happy reunion with Kat as she tears into him for lying about where he's been. Kat's under the impression that Alfie went to help his daughter Cherry, who he shares with Hayley Slater, after Stacey confirmed Jean's theory in a bid to cover up where he really was. Alfie promises to never lie to her again, but Kat has heard this promise many times before. Of course, Stacey is the only one who knows the truth, but her mind is elsewhere next week as she celebrates Martin Fowler's birthday with her kids months on from his death. It's not only the Slaters facing family trouble next week as there's concern for Patrick Trueman, as his fiancé Yolande is left worrying that her partner is gambling ahead of their wedding. He doesn't listen, proceeding to keep things a secret and when he wins big on the horses he convinces Howie Danes to hide it from Yolande. Trouble for Patrick comes following the announcement of his son Anthony Trueman's return. With Anthony being Kat's ex - could that also bring trouble for Kat? EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

I've lost over 4st on Mounjaro in 6 months but 4 no-go foods cause eggy sulphur burps like you can't imagine & diarrhoea
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MOUNJARO user has revealed the four foods she has to avoid whilst using fat jabs. Savvy mum Vic has been on Mounjaro for just over six months and has lost 4 stone 2 lbs. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A Mounjaro user has revealed the four foods and drinks she has stopped consuming since being on fat jabs Credit: TikTok / @rural_vic 5 According to Vic, such foods not only cause eggy burps, but diarrhoea and stomach cramps too Credit: TikTok / @rural_vic 5 Mounjaro is typically used to treat type 2 diabetes Credit: Getty She still has another 3 stone 7 lbs to lose to reach her goal weight, but throughout her weight loss journey has discovered four foods that have had adverse side effects. Not only does her once go-to favourite dinner now give her diarrhoea, but it also causes eggy sulphur burps like you can't imagine. Posting on social media, Vic got candid on the foods she has stopped eating whilst taking Mounjaro, leaving many gobsmacked. Fried food First things first, Vic confirmed that she avoids greasy, fried foods, as they can cause 'unsolicited side effects.' She claimed that digestive systems 'slow down significantly whilst on Mounjaro', and as a result, she tends to avoid takeaways and anything too heavy. Not only this, but she claimed that when she eats fried foods, it 'feels like there's somebody fighting you in your stomach from the inside.' Red meat While steak used to be Vic's 'go-to meal,' now it is a 'no-go' for her. She claimed that red meat, particularly steak, is 'difficult to digest', but with Mounjaro thrown into the mix, has caused her 'a few problems.' Vic acknowledged that after eating steak whilst on the fat jabs, she has experienced 'diarrhoea, major stomach cramps and sulphur burps like you can't imagine.' Dense carbs As well as this, according to Vic, heavy, dense carbs, such as bread, naan bread, chips and jacket potatoes, are no longer in her diet whilst using the fat jabs. Sun Health Explainer: Fat jabs She stressed: 'Anything like that causes me havoc the next day - I smell like I've [eaten] six rotten eggs if I have anything heavy and dense in carbs.' Spicy food And it's not only naan bread that Vic can't have when getting a curry, as spicy foods are also a no-no. She once 'loved spicy food' but now claimed: 'Nope, doesn't work now for me - the aftermath is just not worth it.' Since being on Mounjaro, Vic has learnt that keeping her diet 'lean and clean is the only way forward.' As a result, now she focuses on consuming lean protein, vegetables, fiber and plenty of water. Fizzy drinks Not only are these four foods out of the question, but there's also drinks that Vic avoids too. I blow up like a pufferfish if I have anything fizzy Vic The once 'Red Bull girl and a Prosecco queen' revealed that fizzy, sugary drinks are also not an option for her. While Vic used to love guzzling fizzy pop, now she 'can't handle' it. Instead, she focuses on drinking three to four litres of water a day, as she added: 'I blow up like a pufferfish if I have anything fizzy.' Mounjaro users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @rural_vic, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 181,700 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 2,762 likes, 205 comments and 445 saves. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. Other Mounjaro users were thankful for Vic's advice and eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Great advice thank you. I am six weeks in and not lost this week so [I'm] not happy, trying to get some tips.' Another added: 'This is spot on advice!! Pork is another difficult food to digest that can be really awful.' A third commented: 'Been on it a year, five stone off and 10.2mg now and totally agree with the fried foods.' Meanwhile, someone else gushed: 'Thank you! You've helped beyond measure!!'
