Danny Dyer has been in South Shields to film a new TV series, months on from his dramatic departure from EastEnders.
Millions tuned into BBC One on Christmas Day night to see Danny's character Mick Carter embroiled in a massive storyline, when the truth about how his villainous new wife Janine had framed his ex and childhood sweetheart Linda for a drink driving incident that she actually staged in the hope that Linda would end up behind bars and away frrom Mick.
As most secrets tend to be in Albert Square, the truth came out round the dinner table in the Queen Vic, with Janine's own daughter Scarlett, after the unearthing of an incriminating photo with Janine in the background, throwing her mum under the bus by spilling the beans.
