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' Sharon ‘to the rescue' as prison looms for major characters
EastEnders fans may not have seen Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) for a good few months now, but she comes to The Six's rescue this week. In forthcoming scenes on the BBC soap, Sharon's half-sister Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) comes dangerously close to landing the murderous Walford women in prison when she considers telling the police about Bernie Taylor's (Clair Norris) recent shenanigans. Before she departed Albert Square earlier this month, Bernie had been stealing money out of the Panesars' businesses as revenge for The Six killing her brother Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters). When Vicki was roped in to audit the Panesars' accounts, she uncovered Bernie's fraudulent activities and blackmailed her, wanting a cut of some of the cash to repay a loan to Sharon. However, Bernie eventually turned the tables on her, and told the Panesars it was Vicki who had been stealing from them. While Bernie's lies were eventually exposed to Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), she let Bernie off the hook and escape to Spain with the cash after pleas from Keanu's killer Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) and fellow members of The Six Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) to set Bernie free. Still in the dark about the real reasons Bernie set her up, this week Vicki is still smarting, while still scrambling to raise the cash to pay Sharon back. When Kathy gets wind of Vicki's plan to go to the police about Bernie, she makes a panicked call to Sharon, who is still in Australia, asking her to intervene. She suggests Sharon should walk back her threat to chuck Vicki out of No. 43 if she doesn't repay her debts in the hope it will stop Vicki from feeling the pressure, and thus the need to go to the police about Bernie… Sharon was last seen on the day of Martin Fowler's (James Bye) funeral back in April. Just shortly after Vicki's arrival in Walford, Sharon set off to Australia to look after Vicki's mum and her longtime best friend Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully), who was struggling to come to terms with the loss of her brother Martin.

Fresh horror for The Six in EastEnders as destructive report set to be filed
Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) threatens to blow The Six's cover in EastEnders next week. 18 months on from Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) death, the women are once again fearing that they'll end up behind bars. As viewers of the BBC One soap will recall, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed Keanu with a meat thermometer to prevent him throttling best mate Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean). Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Denise Fox (Diane Parish) then helped the ladies to conceal the murder, burying his body under the caff. Eventually, twisted Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) went to his grave with authorities believing that he was the one who committed the crime. But that wasn't before the grizzly truth was revealed to Keanu's grieving sister Bernie (Clair Norris). In the months that followed – now trustee of the Panesar business empire – she swindled the family out of thousands, placing fake invoices for repairs to their GP practice. It wasn't long after Vicki began some accountancy work on Bernie's behalf that her dodgy dealings were exposed. She threatened to tell the Panesars what Bernie was up to, unless she coughed up half of the cash so that she could pay off her debts to sister Sharon and ensure she had a roof over her head. Bernie reluctantly went along with the plan, but then turned the tables by framing Vicki. Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) knew that something suspicious was afoot after threatening Vicki and her partner's son Joel Marshall (Max Murray), and planted spyware in Bernie's laptop. The technology proved what she was up to – but before he could stop her, she fled to Spain. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Vicki has found herself in a similar predicament, and she knows that unless she finds the cash, Sharon will kick her out. More Trending In upcoming scenes, Vicki meets with her aunty Kath' to discuss her problems, and says that she's considering reporting Bernie to the police. Now, as you can imagine, the last thing The Six need is further questioning and Bernie wouldn't hesitate to spill the truth if trouble came her way again. Desperate to find a resolution to their problems, Kathy calls Sharon to convince her to let Vicki stay put. View More » Will she be successful?

Suki Waterhouse Gets Hernia From Tight Leather Pants
Suki Waterhouse may have unlocked a new fear for us, thanks to a risky fashion choice. When fans started wondering about her whereabouts on social media, the Daisy Jones & The Six star opened up about a recent health scare that caused her sudden absence. ''Suki you never tweet anymore' have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I've been too scared to tell you,' the singer-songwriter wrote to her followers on Monday, July 14. The multihyphenate also shared a series of photos from the incident, including a selfie from a hospital bed and a photo of her performing in the skin-tight leather pants that caused her hernia. Naturally, the replies to her post were filled with concern and confusion, as one fan wrote, 'hope you're feeling better my dear, take care of yourself ❤️.' Another person took the opportunity to share their own experience with the condition, which involves the displacement of organs through the abdomen or groin area. 'Hey I gave my dad a hernia once x,' the fan wrote, to which Suki jokingly replied, 'well done!!' BTW: Here's a closer look at the infamous leather pants in action. Despite being hospitalized, she still sported wired headphones and kept a blue nicotine vape nearby. 'Vape in the hospital is diabolical,' someone responded, while Suki agreed, writing, 'So true.' Her hospitalization comes after she privately welcomed her daughter with Robert Pattinson in March 2024. The couple announced the birth of their baby the following month with an Instagram post of Suki holding her newborn in a swaddled blanket. 'Welcome to the world angel ❤️,' she captioned the Polaroid photo. As the 'Model, Actress, Whatever' artist is on the mend, she's set to take the stage at Colorado's Up in the Sky Music Festival this summer on August 8. Suki is also hitting the road in support of her sophomore album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, with a slew of festival shows and as an opening act on Laufey's A Matter of Time Tour later this fall.

EastEnders legend will miss co-star's ‘bright and positive energy' as she exits
EastEnders star Diane Parish, known for her role as Denise Fox, has paid tribute to her co-star Clair Norris following her character Bernie Taylor's departure from the soap. Norris's final episode aired this week, with her character Bernie Taylor leaving Albert Square for a fresh start in Spain alongside her step-cousin Felix Baker(Matthew James Morrison), using money stolen from the Panesars. Over the past year, Bernie has been at odds with Diane Parish's character, Denise Fox, largely due to Keanu's death and Denise's role in the storyline involving 'The Six.' Despite the on-screen tension, Diane took to social media to share a warm message after a video of Clair's last day on set was posted. She praised Norris as 'a wonderful talent,' going on to say that the actress has 'Blown me away with her comedic and dramatic performances. Gonna miss her bright and positive energy. Go well beautiful girl.' Clair also shared her own tribute to her on-screen partner Matthew James Morrison, who plays Felix Baker. In an Instagram post, she wrote: 'Bernie &👸🏼B… @matthew_james_morrison I truly believe our paths crossed for a reason. I couldn't have been more thankful to have you by my side on our last block. What a rollercoaster it was but hand in hand we did it!!!' Matthew left a heartfelt comment under the post writing: 'I love you Clair Hayley Norris,' Diane added her own comment under Clair's post, calling her and Matthew 'two of the most genuinely beautiful people within and without.' More Trending Clair's exit was first confirmed back in May, when a BBC spokesperson wished her well and thanked her for her time on the show. Reflecting on her departure in an interview with The Sun, Clair said: 'Obviously, it's upsetting, but also I'd been there for eight years, which is a long time to play a character, and I have absolutely loved being in the show.' She went on to tell the publication: 'They gave me the opportunity to learn on the job, and now I can take that experience into future roles. Of course, it's sad, but with the Taylors gone, it felt like the right time. I'm very excited about what's to come.'
