EastEnders actress Kellie Bright has teased what viewers can expect from this year's Christmas episodes, suggesting they will be "sad but explosive".
It will be her co-star Danny Dyer's final scenes as Kellie's on-screen estranged husband Mick Carter leaves for good after nine years in Walford.
However, Kellie is also hopeful that it will open up a brand new chapter for her character Linda as a single mum to two young children - one of whom is the child of Max Branning.
