Eastenders fans have a theory about Mick Carter's dramatic exit from the BBC soap, and now Danny Dyer has dropped a major hint that they could be right.
In a tense hour-long episode on Christmas Day, viewers watched as Mick jumped into the sea to save his ex-wife Linda from drowning, unaware that she had managed to save herself. The dramatic scenes unfolded after the Queen Vic landlord found out his new wife Janine Butcher, played by Charlie Brooks, had engineered his break-up by framing Linda, who struggled with alcoholism, as the cause of a car crash.
The festive episode saw Mick and Linda follow Janine to Dover. After they catch up with her, Janine kicks and slaps Mick on the clifftop leaving him rolling around on the ground before Linda jumps into her car in an attempt to stop her getting away.
