EastEnders spoilers: Linda Carter spirals out of control
In upcoming scenes of the BBC One soap, Linda finds it hard to move on and, after many outbursts including a fight with Janine, turns to alcohol.
To her daughter Nancy's (Maddy Hill) surprise, Linda is staying with Sharon Watts but, after a night spent with Zack, she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with her mother.
However, Linda sparks concern when Nancy discovers bottles of alcohol in her suitcase as well as a family photo.
Feeling guilty, Nancy goes to talk to Linda and offer her an olive branch.
But this appears to do nothing for her addiction.
The day of Stuart's surgery arrives and Linda is spotted by the new father sneaking alcohol into a drink.
This leads to him confiding in Rainie about his own past addiction to painkillers as he admits he is terrified of relapsing after his operation.
Linda's reliance on booze has torn her family apart in the past and was first noticed when she struggled to accept her son Ollie's autism diagnosis.
This was only worsened with Mick's panic attacks and her own fears that her cancer may have returned.
She was even caught drunk driving outside the school gates.
While she has tried to take the steps towards recovery, Linda has relapsed multiple times.
But could Nancy be of help in her struggle? Will Linda find help for her addiction once and for all?

Later, Billy reminds her that she promised to help out at the church but Summer's adamant she doesn't have the time.
Billy is beside himself but, thankfully, Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) agrees to help by promising she will try and speak to Summer.

The girls take them back to the flat to eat and Amy leaves. But when she realises she has left her phone in Summer's home, she returns – only to hear her friend retching in the bathroom.
Summer denies making herself sick but a shocked Amy is wisely unconvinced and threatens to speak to Billy about her eating disorder.
Stressed, Summer begs her not to and vows she will never do it again.
But will Amy believe her or turn to Billy? What should Amy do to help Summer?

The 58-year-old, who was killed off the soap last year, was diagnosed at the same time she landed the role in 2016.
She asked her son Jimmy – now aged 17 – not to tell anyone because she feared she would lose her job playing Marnie Nightingale.
Becoming very emotional as she spoke on Loose Women, Lysette said: “I remember when we moved up for Hollyoaks, the hardest thing – and I feel so bad about it – was saying to him, let’s find someone you definitely can talk to, but you cannot confide in anyone because I’ll lose my job.
“Being a single parent and being an actor, it’s nigh-on impossible. How are you meant to work?
“When I was giving birth to Jimmy, they wrote it into the story and then were like, can you hurry up? That’s the trade-off.”
