EastEnders fans predict Linda's mystery Queen Vic buyer as one character ruled out

EastEnders viewers think they might know who Linda Carter is trying to get to buy The Queen Vic, after one name was ruled out.

It was revealed recently that Linda had made contact with a mystery person, and was hoping they would buy her missing husband Mick Carter's share of the pub.

Mick appeared to drown on Christmas Day after an accident, with him diving into the sea to rescue ex-wife Linda.

He's presumed dead and lost at sea, and his current wife Janine Butcher, who is in prison, is selling his half of The Vic.

Linda has remained torn over staying at The Vic after Mick's death, but now it seems she is eager to stay in business with whoever buys the other share.

Sharon Watts keen to buy Mick's share, and also in the running was Nish Panesar - but Linda has made it clear that she wants someone else to buy the pub.

A recent scene saw her on the phone to an unknown person, as she urged them to consider going into business with her.

No more has been mentioned since then, but on Thursday night she once again reached out to them.

It seems they are yet to decide if they want the pub though, as they accused Linda of hassling them in another phone call in the latest episode.

Linda told them time was running out, and the scene ruled out Alfie Moon as being the mystery buyer given he was with Linda seconds earlier.

She was heard saying: "I'm not hassling you but have you got the cash for The Vic or not? Cos we are running out of time."

So who exactly was on the other end of the phone? Viewers have once again speculated who it might be.

Taking to Twitter, fans shared their theory that it was either Max Branning or Ian Beale on the other end of the phone.

One fan questioned: "right i need to know who linda keeps speaking to on the phone RN! elaine, johnny, someone else?!"

Others were left demanding answers as there were no real clues as to who she was speaking to.

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
