Janine Butcher’s (Charlie Brooks) scheming and manipulation could finally be exposed in EastEnders next week, as questions are asked, and she’s got no way to answer them!

Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) is left upset after an altercation with Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) at the NA / AA meeting, and she takes shelter in The Vic, where Mick (Danny Dyer) comes to her aid – much to Janine’s dismay.

Afterwards, Linda gets emotional about the prospect of being separated from Annie – after she takes her first steps in front of her and Mick – and the former couple almost kiss!

Janine, meanwhile, flirts with Mick, but he is distracted by thoughts of Linda. Trying to offer his support, he asks Linda to go over the exact events of the accident, encouraging her to check her call log online. Mick and Linda soon discover that Linda made a call to The Vic that night, which leaves Janine panicked. 

Is Janine’s secret set to out? And will Mick and Linda finally accept the inevitable and get back together?

Elsewhere on the Square, Stuart disposes of his anti-depressants prescription, and heads towards a drug dealer, which is what leads to the showdown with Linda – and subsequently Mick.

When Mick refuses him the chance to apologise to Linda, he heads to the GP surgery, but unable to obtain an appointment, he takes drastic action. Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) attempts to help Stuart as the situation escalates, but will she succeed?

It’s all kicking off in the Square next week, and here’s your first look at what’s coming up.

EastEnders airs these scenes w/c Monday August 22 at 7:30pm on BBC One.
